Zazà, the program on culture, society and entertainment, broadcast on Rai Radio 3, arrives at the Napoli Teatro Festival Italia 2019: on Tuesday 18 June, from 21.00 pm, the Dopofestival bookshop set up in the romantic garden of Palazzo Reale will welcome the curators Anna Antonelli and Lorenzo Pavolini, and the hosts Piero Sorrentino and Lea Nocera, for a moment of discussion with some of the protagonists of the twelfth edition of the NTFI, directed for the third consecutive year by Ruggero Cappuccio, and organized by the Fondazione Campania dei Festival. A window on the Mediterranean is the title of the column, curated by Lea Nocera, which will give ample space to the artistic creation of the Mediterranean by artists in exile in Europe included in the Festival's program. The guests of the in-depth program will be Wael Ali, Syrian writer and director born in 1979, who presents in absolute premiere at the NTFI Sous un ciel bas تحت سماء و١طئة Under a low sky, a documentary theatre show, which brings to the stage the story of Jamal, a Syrian documentary maker who lives in France, obsessed by the loss of his past (show on stage at the Assoli hall on 21 and 22 June). Another protagonist of the focus dedicated to the new visions of the post-migration artistic scene will be Mohamad Al Rashi, co-director together with Wael Kadour (Syrian playwright and director now a refugee in France) and interpreter of Chronicles of a city without a name, which tells the true story of a woman who committed suicide in Damascus in 2011, highlighting the violence intrinsic to a political, economic, religious system, established and perpetuated for decades (national debut – on stage at Galleria Toledo, on 20 and 21 June). From theatre to art with Bissane Al Charif, a Syrian-Palestinian set designer, who, together with the Lebanese actress and director Chrystèle Khodr and the Syrian director Waël Ali, investigates sexual experiences and their relationship with the changes of the post-war period, through the interactive installation Dans un jardin je suis rentrée, on display at Palazzo Fondi until 22 June.
For Italian prose, guests of Radio 3 Zazà at the NTFI will be Elio De Capitani and Ferdinando Bruni, directors of Angels in America (The Millennium Is Approaching and Perestroika) by Tony Kushner – an overwhelming marathon in two chapters (national debut – on stage June 20 and 21 at the Teatro Politeama) – and Davide Iodice, creator, playwright and director of La Luna, creation starting from waste, scraps, the repressed of a community (national debut – on stage July 12, 13 and 14 at Palazzo Fondi).
