What is beauty today? And who gets to decide?
Somewhere, there lives a Witch. She has tousled hair, a prominent nose, dresses in dark clothes, and when she laughs, she’s really quite frightening. For her birthday, she receives an invitation from Ogre: a rendezvous in the moonlight. He thinks she’s so beautiful.
That night, passing through the woods, Witch encounters some folks who don’t share the Ogre’s view: everyone believes that Witch should use magic to make herself more beautiful. She listens to their advice and changes her appearance. But looking so different, Ogre doesn’t recognise her…
Award-winning Bella, bellissima! is a piece of extraordinary substance and exquisite complexity, a magical, entertaining and moving journey that explores the ever-relevant themes of prejudice, freedom and identity.
