Avevamo vent'anni

The Resistance through the eyes of twenty-year-olds: a story of friendships, fears and choices that shaped the future of an entire generation.

*Avevamo vent’anni* (We Were Twenty), directed by Pierpaolo Congiu, brings the *La quarta parete* season to a close at the Teatro Incontro in Pinerolo.

Based on testimonies collected by Senator Elvio Fassone, the play retraces the years of the Italian Resistance from 1943 to 1945. At its heart are young men and women called upon to decide which side to take, as war and occupation enter their lives.

Doubts, bonds, losses and hopes bring out the human dimension of those experiences and invite us to reflect on the value of freedom and personal responsibility.
