Sisa is the long-suffering mother of sextons-in-training Crispin and Basilio, she goes mad upon the loss of her sons. Impoverished and married to a violent drunkard, she is allied only with her sons. She wanders the town, clothes tattered and hair disheveled, calling out for her sons. When she actually does meet Basilio, she cannot recognize him.
