OperaLombardia has announced an international competition for directors under 35. The winning creative team thought of a tragedy of intimacy which has at its center a protagonist who is incapable – she first – of accepting herself and her story. In Violetta's past there is a choice of gender, an act of self-determination which also brought with it the sense of guilt for one's dual nature, internalization of external judgment and fear of her. The victim comes to understand and finally share the prejudice that accompanies it and for a transsexual, splendid and lost in a populous desert, there is only sex and her rich market. The psychological complexity of the protagonist is opposed - and inevitably attracts - the superficial inexperience of Alfredo, a younger boy with a well-off background.
