Synopsis of the show<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe show retraces the fundamental stages of the life of Gi\u00f2 Stajano who was born as a man, Gioacchino, in 1931 in Gallipoli (Lecce), to Fanny Starace, daughter of the fascist hierarch Achille Starace, and Count Riccardo Stajano Briganti di Panico.<\/p>\n

He's the only kid who can say he peed on the Duce!
\nHe spent his childhood between Sannicola and Gallipoli and then attended the Jesuit College in Frascati, demonstrating great intellectual gifts.<\/p>\n

He moved to Rome, where he pursued a career as a painter, journalist, actor and writer.<\/p>\n

Here he frequented Roman high society and became friends with the artist Novella Parigini, in whose renowned salon he met exponents of the culture of the time such as Moravia, Pasolini, Guttuso, Dal\u00ec, Rock Hudson, Tyrone Power, Linda Christian and Errol Flynn and many others.<\/p>\n

He was cast in a part in Federico Fellini's film La Dolce Vita, which was followed by other roles with important directors.<\/p>\n

In 1983, Gi\u00f2 decided to become a woman, undergoing an operation in Casablanca.<\/p>\n

As Maria Gioacchina, she took part in a pornographic photo novel with Gabriel Pontello and for several years frequented the world of prostitution.<\/p>\n

In the last part of her life, she decided to approach the Catholic religion: she became a lay nun, taking vows in Vische (TO) in the Convent of the Nuns of Betania del Sacro Cuore.<\/p>\n

In 2011, following problems caused by the still experimental gender reassignment operation, he will leave this earth.<\/p>\n

A glimpse of us: Gay Center's commentary<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Gi\u00f2's life is a coming-of-age novel built on the values of queerness: freedom, self-determination, and ironic deconstruction.<\/p>\n

Gi\u00f2 is everything and all of us: the normative cages of gender, the distrust of sexual prejudice, the forms of homophobic and transphobic violence are his history and our history, of a "different" community yesterday as today.<\/p>\n

Homosexuality in the virile Italy of the 1920s\u2026 too little masculine even for the \u201cupside-down\u201d elite of men in power.<\/p>\n

Woman, prima donna\u2026whatever that means. Even being incorrectly self-determined in managing her own body when the feminine ends up costing her any remaining social recognition.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, devout, with scandalous exhibitionism and extreme seriousness. Wanting to demonstrate that the rules of power, even divine, are our own creation. Hypocritical and fragile when faced with the authentic exercise of our own free humanity.<\/p>\n
