A Factory, workers and employees represented by a Council. A slice of life in which precarious work is highlighted, a social struggle between trying to defend one’s rights and survival. Fear enters these characters, a fear that may be different in each of them. A choice to be made in just an hour and which could mark the fate of each of the workers and employees, but not only. A choice of a few minutes, but which hide behind something much deeper.
The reality of these characters, different from each other, linked to this work to live their lives. Now faced with the acquisition of the company by other partners, the fear of no longer having a job emerges, but a choice is made that seems a glimmer of light, simple in itself, but which will force them to confront each other. with each other.
The work is freely inspired by a true story and by Stefano Massini’s “7 minutes: Works Council”.

The work is freely inspired by a true story and from “7 minutes”: Works Council “By Stefano Massini, adapted by the theater company” The Mork “.
In this play “Only 7 minutes” there are 7 characters, three women and four men; the viewer puts himself in the shoes of these 7 people, 7 different minds, strong and weak at the same time, at war and accomplices, separated and united. 7 life stories where each character has his point of view, his fears, his opinions, his reasons for a “yes” or a “no”.
A choice of a few minutes, which hides something much deeper behind it. A proposal, “a small condition” that can change the life of each of them.
The story tells of individual dignity and values, of what we are willing to do in order not to lose our jobs. Where are our limits, how far can we go and what is the price we are willing to pay to live. The viewer has the opportunity to question his life by asking important questions about reality, life and survival.
In this cast, with the growth of a true drama, the director Tommaso Busiello, highlights the stability and fragility of each character in constant growth. At the same time we can see the difference, the strength and the fragility between men and women.
