Fourth Week of 'Summer Chills' at the Royal Botanical Garden of Naples

The theater and literature events continue in the enchanting setting of the Royal Botanical Garden of Naples, which continues to be the natural stage for the Brividi d'Estate 2018 festival, an idea by Annamaria Russo, supported by the sensitivity and collaboration of the Federico II University of Naples, which manages the park, and with the patronage of the City of Naples.
Five events for the fourth week of programming of the festival, from Tuesday 17 to Monday 23 July 2018, with four shows on stage, and a fascinating concert, which will continue to give thrills, charm and great emotions.
The program will propose, on Tuesday 17 July, Il canto della sirena music by Avitabile, Bennato, D'Angiò, De Simone, Faiello, Viviani and the Neapolitan School, with Fiorenza Calogero (voice and frame drums), Marcello Vitale (battente guitar) and the extemporaneous painting of Susy Saulle.
Following, Wednesday 18 July, it will be the turn of Spoon River by Edgar Lee Masters, with Paolo Cresta and Carlo Lomanto. Spoon River is a village that has become a small work of visual art. Men and women who were, tell their lives, dreams, wanderings, instincts and regrets, defeats through epitaphs on cold tombstones.
The story of life that repeats itself over the years, and a series of destinies that together form a single great destiny, that of man throughout the ages.
The review will continue on Thursday 19th with Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach, with Nico Ciliberti, Francesco Desiato and Giacinto Piracci, and on Friday 20th with Era mio Padre by Osvaldo Soriano, with Paolo Cresta and Zac Alderman. Both shows will return to the Botanical Garden for their second scheduled performance.
Saturday 21 July will see the debut, in an absolute theatrical premiere, of Vipera by Maurizio De Giovanni, with Rosaria De Cicco, Marianita Carfora, Paolo Cresta, Sonia De Rosa, Paolo Rivera, Salvatore Catanese, Alfredo Mundo, Antonello Cossia, Emilio Marchese, Zack Aldermann, adapted and directed by Annamaria Russo. It is the spring of 1932, Easter is upon us. In one of the rooms of the “Paradiso”, the most famous brothel in Naples, Maria Rosaria Cennamo, aka Vipera, the prostitute who makes all the men of the city dream, but who only a few can have, is found dead.
To Commissioner Ricciardi, who has the terrible gift of seeing the dead and hearing their last words, the ghost of Vipera repeats: "the whip, my whip". Once again Luigi Alfredo Ricciardi will be forced to move through the infernal circles of the human soul to give a face and a name to the murderer of Paradise.
