Marathon, by Edoardo Erba (Translation by Francesca LoDico) at Dixon Place

Two women training for the marathon. Running as a life or death challenge. While running, they go through their fears, their desires. Their need to feel alive. Despite their effort, despite their vulnerability.Two women running onstage from beginning to end is our way to explore how women have to face todays world. Chiara Cimmino and Valerio Garaffa founded the theatre company TeatroDelDiso and the G. Grasso Acting School for Opera singers in Montreal. They developed The Relationship Acting Method, that they now teach in NYC; during their first acting workshop they met Kimberly DiPersia. They immediately felt a connection.
