Hecuba. War on Mothers: A Universal Cry at the Teatro Laboratorio in Verona

From June 29th to July 2nd, 2026, the Teatro Laboratorio in Verona hosts the national premiere of “Ecuba. La guerra sulle madri” (Hecuba. War on Mothers). Written, directed, and performed by Isabella Caserta, this production serves as a profound secular ritual that bridges classical myth with the urgent realities of our time.

The play reimagines the figure of Hecuba, Queen of Troy, as a universal symbol for all mothers who, across history, endure the violence of conflict. Through a powerful monologue, underscored by Valerio Mauro’s live music, the performance strips war of its heroic rhetoric, exposing its true face: loss, displacement, and violated motherhood. It stands as a call for civil reflection on human rights and female resilience.

Performances begin at 9:15 PM. Given the high demand, reservations are mandatory via the production’s official email. The theater is air-conditioned, providing an intimate setting where ancient drama serves as a lens through which we examine the wounds of the contemporary world.
