# Il Castello Macchiaroli hosts "Jennifer: Il Sogno” il 7 agosto
Il monumentale Castello Macchiaroli di teggiano si prepara ad accogliere uno spettacolo di grande intensità e spessore, “Jennifer: Il Sogno”. L’evento, fortemente voluto e patrocinato dall’amministrazione comunale di Teggiano, avrà luogo mercoledì 7 agosto alle ore 21,30. La rappresentazione è uno studio tratto da “Le cinque rose di Jennifer” del drammaturgo campano Annibale Ruccello, la cui prematura scomparsa a soli trent’anni ha privato il teatro italiano di una figura emergente e talentuosa.
A tribute to Annibale Ruccello
The show tells the story of Jennifer, a central character played by the actor and director Antonello De Rosa, appointed ambassador of social theater in the world in August 2022. Jennifer is a romantic transvestite who lives in a working-class neighborhood of Naples in the 80s. Her life takes place largely closed within the walls of her home, waiting for a phone call from Franco, an engineer from Genoa with whom she is in love. The plot is a mix of anonymous phone calls, provocations and misunderstandings that put her romanticism to the test.
The awards and prizes of the show
On stage for almost thirty years, “Jennifer” has received numerous national awards and prizes, including the prestigious Camilleri Award. The jury, composed of Fioretta Mari, Ida Carrara and the writer Andrea Camilleri, decreed De Rosa one of the best Italian theatre interpreters with the unforgettable comment by Camilleri: “You didn’t play Jennifer, you are Jennifer!”
A work of university study and analysis
Antonello De Rosa's exciting scenic and directorial rewriting has aroused so much interest that it has become the subject of twenty university theses at the faculties of Entertainment, Sociology and Philosophy of Italian universities such as those of Salerno, Naples and Milan, as well as at the prestigious Scottish University of St. Andrews.
The plot and the emotions on stage
The depth of the plot, the intense dialogues and the borderline situations make the show an emotional journey for the spectators. Jennifer receives numerous calls, many of them anonymous, while the soundtrack of the radio program, which alternates news about a serial killer who kills transvestites and the musical dedication “Se perdo te” by Patty Pravo, amplifies the distressing premonition.
High-impact theatrical experience
The ability to move from the dramatic to the tragic to the comic makes the scene dynamic, keeping the audience's attention alive. The emotions of fear, anguish, loneliness and delirium recreate Jennifer's complex inner world before the eyes of the spectator. On stage, alongside Antonello De Rosa, Margherita Rago and Simona Avallone act, offering fundamental support to the success of the performance.
