Geppi Cucciari in “Perfetta.”

Perfetta è the last theatrical monologue written by Mattia Torre, one of the most influential and active playwrights on the Italian television and theatre scene who recently passed away, in which he recounts a month in the life of a woman, marked by the four phases of the female cycle., who for the first time has to deal with tones that do not only favour comedy, but also venture into more melancholic and dramatic nuances with depth.
On stage, she plays the role of a car saleswoman, wife and mother, who leads a regular life that includes work, family, commitments and a great deal of responsibility.
The story analyses the Tuesdays of four different weeks, days that are identical in rhythm but different in perception: due to the variations in the four phases of the cycle, the protagonist's moods, reactions and emotions change.
Perfetta tries to deal humbly, but also frontally, with a taboo of which men know very little and of which even many women are not so aware.
A monologue in which lashings of comedy and satire of custom find space, but also more bitter and profound reflections, in a delicate attempt at female awareness and empowerment, which there seems to be a great need for in our times.
