On Saturday 10th, at 21.00 pm and Sunday 11th February, at 19.00 pm, in the Teatro Sala Molière in Pozzuoli (Viale Bognar, 21), directed by Nando Paone, “Il Colloquio” by director Eduardo Di Pietro will be performed with Renato Bisogno, Alessandro Errico, Marco Montecatino.
The Interview takes inspiration from the system of admission to periodic interviews with inmates at the Poggioreale prison, Naples.
Three women, among many others in line, wait wearily for the meetings with the inmates to begin. They bring objects to be delivered inside, one of them is pregnant: in different ways, they desire access to the place that holds a bond for each of them. In some way, confinement is shared outside by the convicts and for the three women, who take charge of it, it coincides with the same existence: male roles overlap with the lives of each, physically impacting the body, behavior, activities, psyche. In their reality, detention is a near fatality - like death - that disfigures the soul of those who remain. It seems established that the punishment is useless or unjust. The Interview is the result of a series of interviews with women who have lived or live this carnal bond with the penal institution.
During our research we fell in love with these halved lives, anchored to the abyss, arranged along a spatial and social borderline, constantly reaching out towards the elsewhere: a painful and cumbersome afterlife on one side and, on the other, another life, dreamed of, necessary, denied. The lack, in both directions, seemed intolerable to us.
