The final instalment in a trilogy dedicated to female resistance, *Sorry, boys* revisits a famous news story that made headlines in the United States in the year 2000. In the small town of Gloucester, 18 teenage girls under the age of 16 became pregnant at the same time, bound by a shared pact. Italian puppeteer and actress Marta Cuscunà draws inspiration from this true story and combines it with another event that took place in the same place at the same time: a march by hundreds of men to raise awareness of violence against women. She shares the stage with twelve human head trophies, which she brings to life by playing all the roles herself. The result is a theatrical performance as magnetic as it is impressive, revealing an exceptional artist who has won numerous awards.
