On the occasion of the fortieth anniversary (1981-2021), Soni Produzioni Srl proposes a new version of Come on people, come on! at the PalaPartenope Theatre, on May 28th.
Faithful to the original in plot and content, in dramatic development and musical scores, but profoundly renewed in technology and in the quality of the staging.
So much so as to bring the Musical Comedy back to the atmosphere of a true musical of Northern European image, while remaining deeply anchored to the majesty of a figure, that of Saint Francis, who in the world, is an icon of apostolic culture and emblem of Catholic spirituality.
The plot, centered on the figure of the Patron Saint of Italy, tells the values and emotions of everyday life, but dedicates interesting moments and intense reflections on the relationship between fathers and sons, often contaminated by different expectations and distant values, which feed painful dichotomies, in the desperate search for mutual love. In this particular case, a crude and banally materialistic Trader cannot understand the superior and transcendent goals of the Son.
And, in many ways, it is also humanly understandable: Saint Francis is considered a revolutionary figure in the Christian Church: Pope Pius XII will define him as “the most Italian of saints and the saintliest of Italians”… a stature too high, perhaps, for a modest personality like that of his father Pietro Bernardone.
The show therefore offers two different reading levels: on the one hand the representation of a documented truth, the description of a context within which the figure of Saint Francis of Assisi moves, on the other, the relationship between fathers and children, which does not need historical references, because it is part of the history of humanity, of all generations and of all eras.
20, including Actors, Singers and Dancers, will accompany us on this musical journey, which tells the story of one of the most important figures of Christianity.
A journey that is in some ways mystical and spiritual, in others, of elegant entertainment and overwhelming sympathy.
