'' … I remember the earth shaking and trembling, as if everything wanted to fall over. I remember the sea churning and retreating, the beach advancing into the shallows left by the evaporated water, and the fish finding themselves gasping on the sand. I remember a column of smoke rising from Vesuvius, branching out high up like a burning tree. Then the noise: a roar so loud that I imagine it was heard hundreds of kilometers away.
A dull, powerful sound… the earth shaking and boiling. I looked up at the column of smoke. And then… nothing.
You know what happened in Pompeii. And I knew it too. But for some reason I don't understand... instead of being enveloped in a cloud of murderous ash... I found myself here. In a world so distant and different. As if I had been awakened from a dream. The noises, the lights... everything different, everything incomprehensible. As Pompeii might be incomprehensible to you. My Pompeii...
This is how the actress Rosaria De Cicco makes her debut, playing a woman from the Pompeii of the past who magically wakes up in our days.
The 79 eruption destroyed Pompeii, and this is a well-known fact. It covered everything in lava and ash, consigning a precise moment, an instant, to eternity... and what if a woman were to come back to life from that dust and find herself catapulted into 2023? What would she say? What if, apart from smartphones, TikTok, OnlyFans, and more, she didn't find much difference from her Pompeii?
This theatrical reading investigates the intimate life of the inhabitants of Pompeii, a sociological and anthropological story narrated with brilliance and irony that highlights the known and less known aspects of the classical age but above all making a comparison with our times. Are we really so different from the Romans of a few millennia ago?
