A deserted police station. An enigmatic man emerges from the shadows of a Roman night. What follows is a narrative journey that blends history and psychology, a story that defies oblivion and shakes consciences. This is 13419: The Necessity of Return, a play written, directed, and performed by Roberto Attias.
Set in Rome in the 1930s and 1940s, the monologue explores the horrors of racial laws, the brutality of war, the courage of resistance, and the pain of deportation. However, it is not just a historical drama. It is an intense psychological thriller that culminates in a surprising and meaningful ending.
