‘El nom volgut’ (The chosen name)

Back

Theatre. A play that addresses identity and neurodiversity in children from an adult’s perspective

Synopsis

Lua finds things that are apparently easy hard to do, like looking a person in the eyes when they are talking to her, understanding double entendres and not getting irritated when there is a lot of noise.

When she understands that what she experiences is because she has ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) and, above all, when it is explained to her class mates, a weight is lifted from her shoulders.

But now, when she is about to finish primary school and start high school, she faces a new revelation: she wants everyone to call her Elio, her chosen name.

A na Lua li costen coses aparentment senzilles, com ara mirar als ulls de les persones amb qui parla, entendre els dobles sentits del llenguatge i no irritar-se quan hi ha molt de soroll.

Quan va entendre que allò que li succeeix és que és una persona amb TEA (trastorn de l'espectre autista) i, sobretot, quan ho va explicar als seus companys i companyes de classe, es va llevar un pes de sobre.

Però ara, gairebé a punt d'acabar la Primària i de passar a l'institut, s'enfronta a una nova revelació: vol que tothom li digui Elio, el seu nom volgut.
