Marco Paolini's A Deep Map is a groundbreaking exploration of Italian political theatre, shedding light on the distinctive approach of one of Italy's most celebrated playwrights. Until now, Paolini's work has remained largely inaccessible to English-speaking audiences. This book represents the first comprehensive study of his corpus in English, providing a deep dive into his unique methods. By focusing on the recovery of collective cultural memory through theatre and providing a comprehensive historical and political context, the book offers an in-depth analysis of Paolini's distinctive approach. While primarily engaging with art and politics in Italy, this work has far-reaching implications and relevance on a global scale.

Perissinotto's multidisciplinary approach draws upon memory studies, history, and poetry, showcasing how Paolini's plays evoke themes reminiscent of ancient Greek theatre, which encouraged actors to engage in political commentary from the stage, directly connecting them with the public on social and ethical issues. Through her analysis, Perissinotto demonstrates how Paolini's plays serve as powerful tools for exploring and challenging societal norms, promoting empathy and understanding among audiences.

A Deep Map is a significant contribution to the field of theatre studies, offering valuable insights into the works of a renowned playwright and providing a deeper understanding of the role of theatre in shaping cultural memory and political discourse. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Italian literature, theatre, and the intersection of art and politics.
