Nwhere shows on the bill that from Friday 24 January to Thursday 30 April will give life to the 2020 theatre season of "Scenari al Plesco", the eagerly awaited review of the winter cultural programming promoted in Casamarciano by the municipal administration led by Mayor Andrea Manzi. This year the initiative is sponsored by the Metropolitan City.
An exceptional location is the suggestive church of Santa Maria del Plesco, a temple dating back to the year 1000 and annexed to a beautiful abbey.
On stage not only theatrical performances but also musical moments and philosophical reflections. And for the first time also a school of the territory, the classical high school "Giosuè Carducci" of Nola which, in fact, will close the program with "The Supplicants" by Aeschylus.
The ribbon cutting will be held on Friday, January 24 with the show “O' Scarfalietto” by Eduardo Scarpetta, with Gigi Savoia. On Sunday, February 23, Francesca Marini and Massimo Masiello will be the protagonists of “Verso il mito di Edith Piaf”; on Friday, February 28, Ciro Esposito and Fabio Balsamo will be on stage in Salvatore Gisonna's show entitled “Siamo tutti…Felice”. On March 7, music will be the protagonist with the cultural association “Arte e…musica” in “All'ombra del castello”. On Saturday, March 14, the Fuitvenn company will be on stage in “Non sono un gigolò” by Sasà Palumbo. Nicola Donti will be the narrator of the event on March 28 in a special performance that will combine philosophy and goliardic spirit. On April 4th, the Hyria company from Casamarciano will take the stage with the comedy “Oggi sposi si dispensa dai fiori” directed by Giovanni Cavaccini. On April 19th, it will be the turn of “Don Chisciotte” with the Controtempo Theatre company and directed by Roberto Andolfi. Finally, on April 30th, the students of the classical high school “Giosuè Carducci” from Nola will close the program with “Le Supplici” by Aeschylus.
“A regular event not only for the community of Casamarciano but for the entire hinterland that, for the third consecutive year, will enrich the cultural program by placing at the center, once again, the beauty of one of the symbolic places of this community, such as the church of Santa Maria del Plesco, strengthening the theater-culture binomial with project ideas that favor the right opportunity for growth for the territory” explains the culture councilor Carmela De Stefano.
“A new artistic path awaits us with the full awareness of having intercepted, on the one hand, the tastes of the public and on the other the path to follow to make Casamarciano increasingly attractive with a planning of events that contribute to feeding the circuit of opportunities that this community needs” adds the events councilor Angelo Piscitelli.
“The 'Scenari al Plesco' festival, as well as the September festival, are the most evident response that even a small municipality like Casamarciano can be competitive by offering continuous stimuli and tools without ever weighing on the municipal coffers, with the contribution of entrepreneurs and the public or, in the specific case of this festival that we are about to experience, with the financing of the Metropolitan City. It is the response to the commitment of these ten years that has laid the foundations for accrediting us in the main cultural circuits” – declares the mayor Andrea Manzi.
