High Heel from the Big Boot - Aberdeen Arts Centre

A Brilliant and Moving Tribute to Italian Women

GAUDEAMUS Artistic Company proudly presents High Heels from the Big Boot, an original theatrical production written and directed by Eva DAmico, taking audiences on an ironic, emotional, and deeply human journey through the stories of Italian women.

What happens when two grandchildren discover an old laptop belonging to their grandmother, and an Artificial Intelligence begins revealing her secrets? From this surreal and contemporary premise emerges a performance that intertwines past and present, memory and technology, comedy and reflection.

On stage, the voices of extraordinary women come to life: iconic figures and forgotten personalities who finally reclaim the opportunity to tell their own stories with authenticity, strength, vulnerability, and wit. Through hilarious moments and emotionally powerful scenes, High Heels from the Big Boot creates an ongoing dialogue between generations, identities, and cultures.

Designed for an international audience, the performance is presented in Italian with English subtitles, offering an accessible and engaging experience even for non-Italian speakers. The emotions, humour, and universal themes of freedom, self-determination, and the right to be oneself transcend every language barrier.

With a running time of one hour and suitable for all ages, the show celebrates collective female memory and the transformative power of theatre as a tool for cultural dialogue.
