The Riviera Romagnola isn't just the sea, it's the beach: a summer microcosm where, among umbrellas and beach huts, Italians' dreams, habits, vices, and obsessions intertwine. Bagno Kursaal, a fictional beach resort unchanged for thirty years, becomes a mirror of a country that shows its best and worst on vacation. Through comedy and storytelling, the monologue recounts beach life—schizophrenic and ritualistic—while also denouncing the fragility of an ecosystem threatened by mass tourism and climate change.
