ABOUT
"I was going back to the big city and at the bus terminal he tells me: don't ask me to kiss you, you and I, we are nothing."
The only alternative to transform pain is to make it into a spectacle. "Un Festín En Mi Cabeza" ("A Feast Inside My Head") is the most sincere catharsis of a woman that's been broke up with. A woman who acts, exposes, explodes, transgresses her own limits and looks for everything that is no longer there, and will never be again. With audiovisual interventions, with live music and the representation of love in a teddy bear that comes to life, she makes her emotional world an explosive party. The play betrays current life: the ephemeral nature of social media, the mediatization of misfortunes, the false era of communication.
The work got two nominations for the Estrella de Mar awards, for Best Leading Female Performance in Drama and Best Marplatean Direction. It's been performed in more than ten different theatres and spaces, and it is about to open a very special performance at the General Consulate of Argentina in New York City.

MEDIA
"...comedia sorpresivamente excelente de Antonella Schiavoni, que se niega a dar las cosas por terminado e incorpora la ductilidad y plasticidad, la voz multiplicada en otras voces de Lucrecia Aguirre, que carga con la obra sobre su cuerpo y lo entrega todo con un talento que la desborda. "
"Un festín en mi cabeza es una propuesta muy interesante sobre la transformación del dolor en arte, donde su autora Antonella Schiavoni ha plasmado parte de sus viviencias en un espectáculo entretenido, intenso y reflexivo."
"Con un texto que habla de venganza y de verguenza, de sexo y de placer, de dolor, de soledad y de tristeza, pero sobre todo del deseo que tiene esta mujer al igual que la mayoría de los seres humanos, que queremos ser amados, ser cuidados, y ser felices!"
