“The habit does not make a nun,” by Fabrizio De Grandis, Fata Morgana Teatro company.
Grand Duchy of Tuscany in the 18th century. Count Polidoro is the reckless heir of a wealthy noble family, a unique playboy, perpetually engaged in gallant adventures where "going all the way" is what he declares and boasts to the world to narcissistically feed his fame as a great seducer, but which actually does not interest him at all.
On the contrary, he is intoxicated and exalted by the prospect and idea (almost always frustrating, moreover) of being close to and in contact with the coveted woman (in a sort of unconscious return to the state of an infant) to be able to indulge in the fragrance of her skin and gain fulfillment from a close visual encounter with her feminine form.
Bored with easy conquests, he now engages only in those that are difficult, complicated, improbable, and steep.
His new gallant adventure is named Lady Adele, a wealthy lady who, to observe the mourning of her recent widowhood, has asked for and obtained asylum, surrounded by nuns and accompanied by her own maid, in a convent. But the convent of nuns, as we know, is a place, in the historical period we are in, notoriously absolutely banned from men. What stratagems will the Count implement to remove the obstacle and succeed in his endeavor?
What anticipated or unexpected complicities will he be able to take advantage of within the convent?...And above all, will he emerge victorious or defeated?
