World Première

Freely inspired from the novel Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, made known to the public thanks to the film version by Victor Fleming (1939) starring Vivien Leigh, Francamente me ne infischio is an universe that fluctuates between the grotesque and pop, between the text reflection and the contemporary.

Scarlett O'Hara will be the whim and the earth, the self-centeredness and the cotton plantation, the tenacity and slavery, will be Ashley Wilkes and the Tarleton twins, will be Mammy and Rhett Butler. Because Scarlett is the embodiment of the American dream, the dream of yesterday and today's America.

Three gentlemen meet in a timeless space. They are Frank, Scarlett's second husband, Ashley, her obsession all along, and Rhett, a shrewd charmer and third husband. Each one of them has tried to be part of her life, according to his own abilities and possibilities; they meet to remember her and they engage in a quarrel where everyone claims to have loved her, understood her, more than the others. But they have to give in to their inadequacy.
Thus, Scarlett's absence turns into a metaphor of loss: an old world with its own codes has vanished. Now, in order to survive, it is necessary to get over the grief, even if it means giving up oneself.
