GIRAVOLTA is a show that talks about stories of life, love, fragility, conquests, feelings, fears. To do so with courage, in the role of Drag Queen, former inmates of the Brindisi Prison who followed a dance-theater workshop to build their characters and interpret their roles with greater awareness.
GiraVolta is also a documentary that takes up all the phases from the knowledge of the project to the workshp, the rehearsals, the “behind the scenes” and the show on stage.
Just as the Drag Queen is a victim of prejudice, so an inmate is a victim of discrimination. The aim is to try to break down prejudices through knowledge. A knowledge of man by focusing on empathy.
The prisoner takes off the costumes of his character until they remain only essence and this moment shares it with the audience.

GiraVolta is a workshop, a theatrical performance, a documentary, and therefore a life path lived by artists, guests and prisoners - and by the audience - all in connection with each other.
