Meretrices is a theater show that talks about history, prostitution and mainly women: on stage at the 55 Club in Naples.
The NarteA association will stage the show Meretrices - In the folds of hypocrisy the next 23 November in the space 55 Club a Via Toledo.
The play intends to explore with an objective and disenchanted gaze the history of prostitution in Italy, from the regulation and taxation operated by the Count of Cavour up to the application of the Merlin law on the dismantling of closed houses.
The Meretrices work, written by Febo Quercia, is re-proposed on the occasion of the anniversary of the Merlin Law, whose constitutional validity was recently questioned following the involvement of Silvio Berlusconi in the famous “Rubygate”. The law was judged perfectly constitutional and therefore valid like any other law in force, but at the time the social debate on the subject of closed houses and the management of prostitution it was rekindled, deeply dividing public opinion.
NarteA will power viewers to discover the voluptuous living room of Domenico Mondragone, owner of an ancient and famous Neapolitan brothel. The staging will be hosted in a seventeenth-century building: the suggestion is assured.
