CordeRosa is a story of bonds. In reality, there are six stories: those of women who have lived the mountain in every possible form. Why them? Because women have been forgotten in the history of mountaineering and often by History itself. And why the mountain? Because it is precisely when you walk a trail or climb a face that the bond—with yourself, with nature, with your rope team companions—becomes evident, but also because the ascent to a summit, made of effort and commitment, is a metaphor for life that reminds us how fundamental human bonds are on our journey. In the six stories of CordeRosa, the lives of mountaineering pioneers intertwine with those of midwives who braved treacherous mountain paths to deliver babies, and with the "Portatrici" of the Dolomites, who transported supplies and ammunition to the front lines of the First World War, reaching all the way to the present day with the story of Nives Meroi and her magical relationship with the peaks. The six monologues, performed by Ancilla Oggioni, are in turn linked to songs performed by Aiòra—Francesca Arrigoni and Nadir Giori. This continuous interplay of references produces an evocative effect, capable of making the audience feel like an integral part of the performance.
