(ANSA) - ROME, SEPTEMBER 22 - Debut as an actor, or almost, for Ferzan Ozpetek. After the Silver Ribbons and Donatello's David at the cinema, the director of the ignorant Fairies and The Goddess Fortuna will open the new season of the Ambra Jovinelli Theater in Rome, star of "Ferzaneide - Sono ia!", A sentimental journey through his memories , the suggestions and human figures that inspired many of his films (primarily from 6 to 9/10). "A gift that Ferzan gave us a year ago, when nothing was yet known about what would happen in the season", says the artistic director of the theater, Fabrizia Pompilio. "I would like to speak to the people who have met my film, to the many who have read the pages of my novels, to the others who have listened to the lyric opera of the tortured miedame d 'love, Aida Traviata Butterfly - writes the director in the notes of the show, of which he is also the author -.
Over a year ago I transferred the MineVaganti always dear to me from the cinema to the theater. And right on Mine Vaganti the curtain suddenly fell painfully. Together with the producer Marco Balsamo I decided to commit myself personally to launch a signal of recovery in the sector. I hope - he continues - to bring the show on scattered dates in Italy. This time on the stage I will be alone, to meet the public with the story of my artistic career and my feeling for life, mine and that of others. Over the years I have espoused many causes in the name of courage. Perhaps this word contains the meaning of what I will say evening after evening. The courage to pursue your dreams. The courage to challenge prejudice. The courage to be happy. And hope to finally be back again. At the theater, at the cinema,to concerts, to museums. Everywhere ". Part of the proceeds will be donated to Emergency. (ANSA).
