From Massimo Popolizio in the rise of "M The son of the century" to Filippo Dini with Arthur Miller and one of the most lucid and ferocious texts of American dramaturgy, passing through Elena Sofia Ricci, director's version.
These are some of the theatrical appointments staged over the next weekend.
MILAN - After the success of last season and fresh from the Masks of the Italian Theater Award, Massimo Popolizio brings "M The son of the century" back to the Piccolo Teatro Strehler, a show in thirty-one paintings based on the novel by Antonio Scurati.
A dive headlong into history, to bring to the theater the six years that shocked Italy (1919-1925) and a thriller whose end we know: eighteen actors and eighty characters, to tell the rise of Mussolini.
From 28 September to 16 October.
VICENZA - Another great tragic hero for the 75 / o Cycle of classical shows at the Olympic Theater with the "Prometeo" that Gabriele Vacis has drawn from Aeschylus.
A hero who makes the challenge to established authority his vital condition, but also the archetype of technological and scientific knowledge, freed from the chains of superstition and ignorance.
The protagonists are the young actors who have graduated from the School of the Teatro Stabile in Turin, the Pem Potenziale Evocati Multimediali group, in a staging that reaches dance and sound that becomes choral singing.
From 29 September to 1 October.
ORVIETO (TR) and ROME - Directorial debut of a classic tragedy for Elena Sofia Ricci who, between the preview at Mancinelli in Orvieto and the first in the program of the Quirino Contemporaneo in Rome, directs Valentina Banci in Seneca's "Fedra".
A drama "populated by people who move and trudge through the rubble of their own existence".
With also Sergio Basile, Francesca Mazza, Gabriele Anagni and Ilaria Genatiempo.
On 2 October and from 4 to 9 October.
ROME - The collaboration between Romaeuropa Festival and the Swiss director Milo Rau continues, today at the helm of NtGent in Belgium, with the first national team of "Greif & Beauty" in Argentina, the second part of the trilogy dedicated to the story of private life and inaugurated in 2020 with the show "Familie".
At the center this time, the theme of farewell and mourning, but also of memory and solidarity.
September 29th and 30th.
ROME - Sicily, 1940. Concetta, a silent and innocent girl, is exchanged by her disgraced father for a pregnant goat and entrusted to Donna Anna, the owner of the town's brothel.
She, extraneous to the pleasures of the flesh and to any "adult" conception of life, offers no resistance.
After all, no one has ever explained to her what it means to make love, despite the fact that she already likes that word.
It is with "Immaculate Conception" that Vucciria Teatro inaugurates the season of the Sala Umberto.
A show, born from an idea of Federica Carruba Toscano and directed by Joele Anastasi, with a Sicilian microcosm made of silence, violence and presumption, but also of that authenticity typical of island carnality.
Until October 2nd.
TURIN - Filippo Dini inaugurates the new season of the Turin Stable directing and interpreting Arthur Miller's "Il crogiuolo" in the national premiere at Carignano.
Written in 1953, in full McCarthyism, on the thrust of that state of persecution and social hysteria, the text is a dramatic fresco, which recalls what happened during the Salem witch hunt in the seventeenth century.
On stage, among others, also Pierluigi Corallo, Gennaro Di Biase, Andrea Di Casa, Manuela Mandracchia, Nicola Pannelli, Fulvio Pepe.
From 3 to 23 October.
