Monologo tratto da un’originale riduzione de "Tre Sorelle" di Anton Cechov a cura di Stefano Costantini. Lo interpreta l’attrice Sara Bertelà, che ne è anche interprete teatrale.

Indagando quest'ultima, nasce l'idea di sovvertire - o meglio traslare - il vissuto del personaggio - Irina Prozorova, la minore de le “Tre Sorelle” di Cechov.
