La Malattia dell’ostrica is an ironic monologue by Claudio Morici that explores the fragility of writers and their troubled genius. The author, a writer and father of a 4-year-old with creative ambitions, questions how to navigate an educational system that pushes young people to engage with the complex thoughts of often tormented authors. Through quick biographies and anecdotes, the performance offers an irreverent narrative that rethinks the relationship between creativity, instability, and literary culture.
