Torna la consueta attenzione del Teatro TRAM alle riscritture dei classici con “Salomè”, in scena dall’1 al 4 dicembre 2022 con la regia di Francesco Lonano. Il testo, ispirato a Wilde e Flaubert, racconterà l’amore, la lussuria e il potere, grazie alla prestazione attoriale di due attrici, Eleonora Cimafonte e Katia D’Ambrosio, e un attore, Dario Guidi, in uno spettacolo ricco di rimandi alla letteratura, alla Bibbia, all’arte, alla realtà contemporanea.
The biblical Salome is but a shadow in the sacred texts. Her legend has spanned the centuries, dragging with it sparks of time. In the Bible (Mk 6,17:19 – XNUMX), we see her as an executioner in spite of herself, a puppet in the hands of her mother's thirst for vengeance, under the lustful eyes of her royal stepfather. Her very impalpable essence has allowed the many authors who have recounted the story to condense the archetypes of temptation and human fickleness in the figure of Salome, restoring a thick three-dimensionality to the characters who revolve around her.
Yet her story tells much more, it describes our time. Drawing on the texts of Wilde and Flaubert, the Cenerentola collective brings to the stage a story of love, power, sex and death. As a fatal pivot, Salome activates around herself the destinies of Herod, Herodias, and John the Baptist. The latter is an invisible presence, a latent omen, who both attracts and repels Salome (Katia D'ambrosio).
Herod (Eleonora Cimafonte) and Herodias (Dario Guidi) chase the inevitable fate of those who, believing they command, are commanded. At the bottom of the cistern, the purity of Narraboth and his uncontaminated love for the princess stands out. But this love alone cannot support the weight of so much darkness. The moon, a constant, changing and living presence, seems to scrutinize from above the misery of those who contemplate it.
“The reflection on duplicity, power and human fickleness was at the centre of the acting and directorial work – explains Lonano -. Playing on a coexistence of roles and inclinations, we want to restore the parable of a humanity adrift, slave to desire and oppressed by the sense of impending doom, tragically specular to our contemporary daily life.
The setting of the play has been reversed. Herod, Herodias and Salome live as prisoners in the cistern of Jokanaan. They live in a condition of narrowness, withered and feed on food scraps. This reversal, while not distorting the dynamism of the dramaturgy, underlines and enhances one of the most interesting characteristics of Wilde's text.
Imagining this cistern as the cave of Plato's myth, we realize that the characters live in a condition of obscuring the true reality of things. This allowed us to question ourselves and focus on a very current theme: the impotence of power. Hence the choice to delegate to three bronze faces the presence of the prophet Jokanaan, absent engine of the story, terrifies and makes us fall in love, with the force of invisible things. A fundamental aspect of the directorial design, in addition to the accurate philological poetic research, is the exaltation of the acting technique of these three young actors who also put themselves into play on a musical and choreographic level".
