Five girls play Taboo and face their ‘Tabu’ at the Golden Theater in Rome

Playing Taboo to face your own taboos: it could only be called ‘Tabù’, to be understood in its double meaning of play and analysis, the brilliant comedy by Alessandro Bonanni, directed by Giovanni De Anna and the original music by Serena Mente , on stage until May 8 at the Golden theater in Rome directed by Andrea Maia. The protagonists are five old friends – played by Lorenza Giacometti, Noemi Sferlazza, Giulia Marinelli, Lorenza Sacchetto, Giulia Di Turi – who meet several times in a playroom during the hours when children are not hosted. Each of them has an unsolved problem: diet, social media and sex, imminent marriage and addiction to future husband, money and work, offended nature and esotericism. And a sixth friend, evoked, who has been vegetating in a state of coma for some time but for whom the birthday cake is always ready. “The meetings in this playroom highlight five very different people, with five stories that at times are intertwined, but which are absolutely independent of each other – explains the director – The relationships between these five girls are the fulcrum of the story: real relationships and normal lives, never touched by particular tragedies or particular successes but with a dramatic situation Is the board game of Taboo then just a pastime or does it become a pretext to discover real taboos? “.
