For Women’s History Month, join Casa Belvedere for a presentation celebrating Marta Abba, a pioneer in Italian theater and a woman ahead of her time, the muse of Nobel Prize-winning artist Luigi Pirandello. Marta comes to life via Margherita Peluso, an actress responsible for bringing her story to the public.

The event will include Marta’s introduction of the film Finding Marta: Un documentario sulla Musa di Luigi Pirandello, followed by a Q-and-A session.

When Margherita first heard the story of Marta Abba, she knew the world needed to know more about this woman. She wrote a play to uncover the life of Marta, and also appears in the title role. Margherita also credits Lucid Body, a holistic acting method created by Fay Simpson, for helping her embody Marta.
