La Nonna

Cyprus : La Nonna

A black comedy by Roberto Cossa performed by the Theatre SKALA - Main Stage.

The story revolves around a woman and her insatiable appetites. A family of Italian extraction in Buenos Aires is driven into poverty and desperation by its centenarian grandmother, who is eating them out of house and home. Her family's efforts to avoid ruin become schemes to get rid of Nonna. But the great survivor is as impervious to their plots as she has been to time for a century. Each trap they lay for her springs on one of them. In the end, every stick of furniture may be gone, even the lampshades, but Nonna remains, still eating.

Written in 1977 (two years into Argentina's military crackdown that resulted in the execution and disappearance of thousands), "La Nonna" is an example of a specific Argentine theater style, grotesco criollo (hometown grotesque).

Director: Nikos Nikolaides
