In Sala Assoli, starting Friday 12 January at 20.30:XNUMX pm, the second edition of We love Enzo will begin, a review dedicated to the scenic language of Enzo Moscato, an author now considered a contemporary classic: his poetics and his thoughts will be at the centre of a journey that winds through dramaturgy, cinema, art and photography.
Representative of a theatre that delves with a delicate and biting stroke into the folds of contemporaneity, Moscato entrusts his scenic poetry to the most representative actress voices of our theatre scene: Isa Danieli (with Tempo che fu by Scioscia, from 12 to 14 January and the film Luparella by Giuseppe Bertolucci), Cristina Donadio, Vincenza Modica and Enza Di Blasio (with Co'Stell'Azioni, from 18 to 21 January), Imma Villa, together with the young Mariachiara Falcone, Valeria Frallicciardi and Francesca Morgante, (with Trianon, from 25 to 28 January) will descend into the bowels of Naples, embodying its mood and primordial expressive force. The project concludes with Cristina Donadio, Vincenza Modica and Giuseppe Affinito who, accompanied by Moscato himself, will be the protagonists of Kinder-Traum Seminar (from 1 to 4 February).
Enzo Moscato's work will also be at the centre of the photographic exhibition We love Enzo in foto e senza, curated by Fiorenzo de Marinis (set up as part of Benevento Città Spettacolo 2007); finally, the author's theatrical journey will meet with another extraordinary figure, that of Francesco Silvestri, recently deceased, to whose ardent writing a meeting/greeting will be dedicated.
For the second edition of We love Enzo, Isa Danieli, a great interpreter of Italian theater and cinema, will read the stories Mata Hari and Bagattelle per un altro milinteso, taken from Tempo che fu by Scioscia (published by Tullio Pironti). The collection, centered on the Four Days of Naples, is described by the author as "a small fresco, without the usual dichotomous separation, in black and white, of things and people, with the Neapolitans, pure and good, on one side, and the Germans, brutes and beasts, on the other. With the martyrs and heroes, on one side, and the cowards and assassins, symmetrically opposed to those."
The screening of the film version of Luparella, based on Moscato's text, directed by Giuseppe Bertolucci in 2002 and presented at the 59th Venice International Film Festival, will follow. It was then broadcast by Rai 2 in December of the same year. Isa Danieli, already in 97, starred in the play, which was performed at the Festival delle Ville Vesuviane in Ercolano. The protagonist is Nana, a prostitute who lives in Naples in 1943. When the Germans invade the city, almost all the guests and employees of the brothel where the woman lives leave. Only Nanà and Luparella, another prostitute, remain, who is pregnant. Nana helps her colleague give birth to the baby, but the mother dies. A Nazi officer molests the corpse, inducing Nanà to avenge Luparella in an appropriate manner.
Cristina Donadio, Vincenza Modica with Enza Di Blasio will instead be the interpreters of Co'Stell'Azioni, a show first staged by the same author between Christmas and New Year's Eve of the year 1995/1996, inspired by the installation in Piazza Plebiscito, of the enchanted, white Montagna di sale by Mimmo Paladino. Freely translated from the poetic work of the irregular Jean Cocteau, with the contribution of an imaginative Italian-Neapolitan idiom, cold and at the same time fiery, passionate and lyrically threatening - it narrates, or de-narrates, the difficult border between the living and the dead, the word and its negation, freedom and imprisonment, as well as the need to overcome it.
Imma Villa, together with the three young and talented attics Mariachiara Falcone, Valeria Frallicciardi and Francesca Morgante, who trained in the laboratory of the Teatro Elicantropo, will delve into the Moscatian verb, bringing out the kaleidoscope of meanings hidden in Trianon, a work from 1999, which tells how a banal and very common “work accident” (the usual 24-36 hour arrest at the police station for prostitutes) brings together four exponents of the category in the space of a “night”.
Closing the Moscati journey will be Cristina Donadio and Vincenza Modica who, with Giuseppe Affinito, accompanied by the author himself, will bring to the stage Kinder-Traum Seminar (Seminar on children's dreams or also Seminar on children in dreams: the correct interpretation of the German title is deliberately left ambiguous), a collection of different voices (those of Janusz Korczak, Tadeusz Kantor, Etty Hillesum, Primo Levi, Elie Wiesel, Gitta Sereny, Tzvetan Todorov, Mary Berg, Bruno Bettelheim, Robert Antelme, Edith Stein, Paul Celan, Marina Cvetaeva), captured within the most devastating collective tragedy that the history of humanity can be covered in: the Holocaust.
Ticket price for the shows: full 18 euros; reduced 14 euros. We Love Enzo promo card: 2 We love Enzo shows for 24 euros.
