A Casa di Anna Frank (2015)

A performance written and directed by Firenza Guidi, produced in collaboration with the Frantoio permanent company.

 

Who could ever have imagined that the simple words of a thirteen-year-old girl would shape the cinematic and literary imagination for decades to come? The Diary of Anne Frank, now a literary classic, is first and foremost a testimony to the transition from childhood to adolescence, from the innocence of a child’s world—where evil does not exist—to the torn world of adulthood.

Putting its Renaissance past aside for a moment, the section of the Fucecchio Museum in the historic centre becomes Anne Frank’s home for two weeks. But that’s not all. Visitors taking part in the ‘experience of the show’ will embark on a real journey that will allow them to enter, through a back door in the basement, the city of Amsterdam, before climbing narrow stairs to the living quarters and the attic where Anne Frank, her family and the Van Pels family remained in hiding for more than two years.
