The walls and ramparts of the city are the protagonists of the 28th edition of Maggio dei Monumenti which this year focuses on Muraria, the street art festival promoted by the Municipality of Naples with funding from the Metropolitan City.
Muraria is divided into six sections, one for each form of narration.
The Parlare ai muri section is curated by Casa del Contemporaneo and involves 10 municipalities and 12 theatre companies for as many street performances.
Thursday 2 and Friday 3 June, with three shifts at 16:00 pm, 17:30 pm and 19:00 pm, the Vicolo della cultura, located at number 23 of Via Montesilvano, will be the starting point for Segui la voce per Muraria, a project by Putéca Celidònia.
We will embark on a journey through the remains and memories of a past that is almost buried but still preserved within the walls of the street. A past rediscovered by the children of the neighborhood, who have recovered stories that were at risk of being forgotten and that have been rewritten with imagination and creativity.
These little stories can be heard through the voices of the children and artists they interviewed. The journey, guided by an actress, is structured with the use of 16 mini podcasts, each scannable with a QR code, like in an open-air museum, telling a piece of history of the Vicolo della Cultura and its walls.
The stories are written and performed by the children of the InPutéca Recitando theater course with the voices of Sonia Bergamasco, Giobbe Covatta, Teresa Ciabatti, Lino Guanciale, Marco D'Amore, Maria Grazia Calandrone, Antonio Rezza, Marco Sgrosso, Elena Bucci, Federica Fracassi, Flavia Mastella, Carlotta Natoli and with the voices of the actors of the company Clara Bocchino, Marialuisa Diletta Bosso, Emanuele D'Errico, Teresa Raiano, Dario Rea, Umberto Salvato and with the live interventions of Clara Bocchino, Marialuisa Bosso, Raimonda Maraviglia. The project is in collaboration with #Opportunity APS.
Also on June 2 and 3, at 21:21 p.m., 45:22 p.m. and 30:5 p.m., at the Centro Polifunzionale di Piscinola / Teatro Area Nord, in via Nuova dietro la Vigna, there will be the dance and visual performance …Oltre il muro / What is the Paradise?, directed and choreographed by Antonello Tudisco, with the performer and artistic collaboration of Sara Lupoli, produced by Interno XNUMX.
"A concrete colossus, the dying giant of the Polifunzionale di Piscinola inspired our performance. Is it still possible to imagine “beauty” beyond a crumbling wall? It seems almost impossible, but “beyond” the rust a “paradise” could be discovered. There are places of passage and others of stay, places of expulsion and places of redemption, places of militancy and indifference, the urban “non-places”, places in which to stay to “build”. Ours is a wall to be rebuilt, to be cared for, to be saved.
Beyond the wall, limbo, metaphorical border of our performance, there is the Teatro Area Nord, a space of resistance and beauty where it is still possible to believe in “paradise”. This is the starting point for the performative action: video installation/performance freely inspired by the XVI canto of Purgatory and by Pier Paolo Pasolini's “Ricotta” and “La Rabbia””.
The videos and lights are by Antonello Tudisco, the photographs by Sabrina Cirillo and the music by Valerio Middione.
Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 June, at 10:30, 11:30 and 12:30, Piazza Michele De Iorio hosts La Torre dell'orologio. Omaggio a Riccardo Dalisi, a theatrical performance curated by Archivio Riccardo Dalisi in collaboration with Compagnia di K, with dramaturgy by Linda Dalisi, from poems by Riccardo Dalisi, directed by Michelangelo Dalisi and Emilio Vacca, who are also on stage with Abraham Narcisse Kouadio. The images are by Luca Dalisi.
A place in the city from which an architecture of words is born. Material poetics: walls that tell stories, different languages that dialogue. Riccardo Dalisi's art has traveled through architecture, design, sculpture, painting, poetry. So let's start from a work, from a physical place, to go to places of the imagination: to get out of the perpendicular frame all it takes is a little bird resting on a wall, a cloud that takes the shape of an angel in the background, a piece of waste left on the ground unexpectedly blooms.
On June 4th, at 16:30 and 17:30 p.m., and on June 5th, at 17, 18, 19, and 20 p.m., Collettivo LunAzione presents Forcella Hosting. Del cippo a Forcella e di altre mura, a walk, equipped with wireless headphones, with Martina Di Leva and starting from the mural by Jorit, in Via Vicaria Vecchia (via Duomo).
From the stones of the Forcella boundary stone, buildings, walls, and walls expand, witnesses of various eras, revealing qualities of resistance and friability, protection, intimacy, beauty. In them we find the characteristics of a population ('host', for the occasion), whose self-narrations flow into a poetic walk, an opportunity for the public and residents to meet, fixed in the subtle materiality of sound.
The idea and direction are by Eduardo Di Pietro and the dramaturg is Cecilia Lupoli. Thanks to the coop. Manallart and Marina Rippa, Officina Sociale Avventura di Latta and Puteca Celidonia.
Again on June 4th, at 18, 19 and 20 pm, and on June 5th, at 10, 11 and 12 am, the Maradona mural in Soccavo, in via Vicinale Paradiso 36-46, will be the backdrop to the theatrical performance Cazzimma&Arraggia – il muro del Paradiso, by Fulvio Sacco and Napoleone Zavatto, with Errico Liguori, Fulvio Sacco, produced by assemedianosocialclub.
Two 'sciarmati' are grappling with the greatest managerial and sporting undertaking of the 1984th century. They have no means, no possibilities, and yet they succeed. The year is 59, Barcelona, the last day of the transfer market. The two unlikely managers, locked in a hotel room for XNUMX days, are waiting for a phone call from Naples: confirmation that the money for Diego Armando Maradona is there.
Fulvio Sacco and Napoleone Zavatto rewrite in their own way the story of Maradona's arrival in Naples as a pretext to build an epic contemporary comedy based on the question: how do dreams come true?
In collaboration with Samuel and Associazione Centro Paradiso. Muraria's programming will continue until June 12. Free admission with mandatory reservation starting 10 days before the event.
Caivano, the drug dealer arrested at Parco Verde was the boyfriend of the girl who died in an accident.
Caivano – An arrest that brings to light one of the most dramatic pages in Neapolitan news. Yesterday, the Carabinieri snapped handcuffs on Ciro Migliore, a 27-year-old already known to law enforcement, during a drug raid in Caivano's green park. The man, identified as an alleged drug dealer, is the same young transgender man who was the boyfriend of Maria Paola Gaglione, the 16-year-old who died in the accident in September 2020. The tragedy, which shocked the entire community, was caused by the victim's brother, Michael Gaglione. As established in the trial, the man, opposing his sister's relationship, chased the couple on a motorcycle. During the chase, the scooter on which Maria Paola and Ciro Migliore were riding crashed, causing the young woman's death. Michele Gaglione was sentenced to 9 years and 6 months in prison for manslaughter. Yesterday's arrest by the police adds a dark piece to Migliore's story. The military raided his home, finding evidence of what appears to be a well-organized drug dealing ring: among the findings, 10 pre-packaged doses of cocaine and crack, packaging material and a "lmaster book" with initials and numbers, likely the accounts from the illegal sale. €1.675 in cash was also seized, presumably the proceeds of the illicit activity. The September 16th investigation is not the first drug dealing investigation involving Ciro Migliore after the death of his girlfriend; already in February 2021, he was targeted by law enforcement for similar crimes. The arrest closes a tragic cycle, where a family loss is intertwined with stories of deviance and illegality.
