Le Dee Del Gioco

The Goddesses of the Game: Where Myth Meets Sport

Le Dee del Gioco(The Goddesses of the Game) is a powerful theatrical and musical recital that reimagines the lives of Italy’s greatest female Olympians. This performance transcends simple sports storytelling to elevate real women into a mythical dimension—modern goddesses emerging from the snow, the water, and the track.

The show follows the journeys of five iconic athletes: Ondina Valla, Stefania Belmondo, Arianna Fontana, Valentina Vezzali, and Federica Pellegrini. It explores what it truly means to reach for gold as a woman, navigating changing bodies, injuries, expectations, and radical choices.

Michela Mocchiutti‘s compelling narration guides the audience through an intimate journey where the athletic feat becomes a human story. Alongside her, Giovanna Lubjan‘s live music and soulful guitar provide a space for reflection, amplifying the emotional depth of each tale.

In this “Pop Olympus“, every athlete is paired with an ancient goddess. These deities appear not to reward perfection, but to recognize the intelligence and resilience required to push beyond one’s limits. Le Dee del Gioco is a tribute to the female body that fights and wins, proving that true strength is not the absence of fragility, but the courage to move through it.
