The programming of the Napoli Teatro Festival Italia, directed by Ruggero Cappuccio, continues today, presenting, in world premiere at the Teatro Nuovo at 21.00:XNUMX pm, the show Coltelli nelle galline, a text by the award-winning Scottish playwright David Harrower, directed by Andrée Ruth Shammah with the artistic collaboration of Isa Traversi. Eva Riccobono, interpreter of the Young Woman, whose name will never be pronounced (but written without the audience being able to read it), brings to the stage the freshness and purity of a female character caught in her training process. The male interpreters, Alberto Astorri, in the role of William, husband of the Young Woman, and Pietro Micci, the miller Gilbert who will seduce the mind of the protagonist in an unexpected way, present two spheres of the masculine that become symbols of two worlds, eras and sensibilities diametrically opposed. The show is a co-production of the Teatro Franco Parenti and Fondazione Campania deiFestival – Napoli Teatro Festival Italia.

English: The world premiere at the Napoli Teatro Festival Italia of the show Coltelli nelle galline (on stage at the Teatro Nuovo at 21.00 pm) translated by Monica Capuani and Andrée Ruth Shammah, the latter also director of the production, is based on the first text by the award-winning Scottish playwright David Harrower: in its invented language, and in the reflection that revolves around the nature of language itself, the text reveals a power with a strong contemporary resonance. Andrée Ruth Shammah's direction invades the boundaries of the rural and archaic universe outlined by the author, with a view to seeking a strong experience, where the investigation and discovery of the pronunciation of the Word reveal the purest origin of theatre. The scene, designed by Margherita Palli, develops on two levels, recounting both the rural context in which the story that revolves around the three characters is set, through the presence on stage of scale models of the places in the text, acted out by the actors themselves, and its contemporary echo with a stage space characterized by a strong stylization. The videos, in collaboration with Luca Scarzella, as well as the music by Michele Tadini and the lights by Camilla Piccioni, will accompany the viewer on a journey that moves from an almost philological realism towards an abstraction of feeling. Eva Riccobono, interpreter of the Young Woman, whose name will never be pronounced (but written without the audience being able to read it), brings to the stage, stimulated in her physicality by the hand-to-hand work of Isa Traversi, the freshness and purity of a female character captured in her training process. The male interpreters, Alberto Astorri, in the role of William, husband of the Young Woman, and Pietro Micci, the miller Gilbert who will seduce the mind of the protagonist in an unexpected way, present two spheres of the masculine that become symbols of two worlds, eras and sensibilities diametrically opposed. An unusual show in the artistic path of Andrée Ruth Shammah who takes up the challenge launched by this text for which she immediately felt a strong fascination for the power of the writing, poetic and carnal at the same time, and for the design of the three characters, three autonomous lives, three solitudes in comparison so primitive and original. The show is co-produced by the Teatro Franco Parenti and Fondazione Campania dei Festival – Napoli Teatro Festival Italia. Repeat Sunday 30 June at 19.00:XNUMX.
New appointment at 22.30 pm in the Romantic Garden of Palazzo Reale with the Drammaturgia per il cinema review, curated by Roberto D'Avascio for Arci Movie, which presents the film Cesare deve morire by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani.
