Il Margine is a tale in the making about mental health. A tale because Kelly Ardens, its chaotic storyteller, starts from her own experience and life as a person with borderline personality functioning. In the making because it feeds on emotions and contradictions and asks questions that are perhaps unanswerable but remain vibrating in the air, sometimes light and volatile, sometimes heavy as a boulder.
Il Margine is the world of the protagonist and a new narrative for people who experience, not a ‘disorder’ or ‘suffering’, but the condition of neurodivergent people. That world of ‘crazy’ people, so far from what is considered ‘normal’.
