A show by Arione de Falco Company
By and with Annalisa Arione and Dario de Falco
Age group: 12+
From preadolescence onward, love knocks at our door in a new dress and often finds boys and girls unprepared. Storia di un no (Story of a no) tells the story of Martina who is fourteen years old, has a carnivorous plant named Yvonne, has no designer clothes, no scooter, and no mom. Alexander, a boy who wears designer clothes and is completely different from Martina, immediately falls in love with her. Or at least that’s what he says. Storia di un no is the story of an encounter, of a first kiss that is not as it was imagined but is beautiful anyway. It is the story of families that are not as we would like them to be and of love being confused with possession. It is the story of Martina, who chooses to think of herself as whole and thus says “it’s enough!”, creating with her awareness a chain reaction that can change things.
The Arione de Falco Company consisting of Annalisa Arione and Dario Eduardo de Falco, is moved by the purpose of telling complex stories for new generations with lightness and curiosity. The common thread in all their productions is the encounter with otherness. Annalisa and Dario are also a theater educator and a trainer, public speaking teachers for Treccani Accademia and storytelling teachers. The show won the “Eolo Award 2022” as best theater show for teenagers.
