The Campi Flegrei Archaeological Park is preparing to host the fourth edition of Antro – The Festival “Mens agitat molem” (“The mind moves matter”).

Comedy&Art: The Mask as a Tool for Engagement
The first appointment of this intense week will start on Wednesday, September 11th, at 21.00:XNUMX pm, with “Commedia&Arte”. Markus Kupferblum, renowned director and performer, will use different masks to involve the audience in a show of theatrical improvisation. The masks, from the mutes to the half masks of the Commedia dell'Arte, will encourage active participation of the audience, transforming them from simple spectators to protagonists of the “game”.
Sibille: Modernity and Tradition
Friday, September 13, again at 21.00:XNUMX p.m., it will be the turn of “Sibille: oracoli e divinazioni in forma moderna” by Marina Rippa. On stage, nineteen women, each with their own magical and divinatory object, will interact with the audience accompanied by live music by Roberta Giannattasio. The performance, curated by the Femminile plurale association, will mix the sacred and the profane, answering the secret questions of the spectators through the symbolic presence of the Sibyls and the laurel plant, sacred to Apollo.
The Sea That Unites Us: Dance and Connections
On Saturday, September 14, at 21.00:XNUMX p.m., Emma Cianchi and the ArtGarage association will present “The sea that unites us”. Four dancers, Maria Anzivino, Pearl Hubert, Tonia Laterza and Gaia Mentoglio, will transform typical dances from southern Italy into dynamic and virtuoso choreographies. The original music by Lino Cannavacciulo and the costumes by Leandro Fabbri will be an integral part of this show that celebrates the figure of the Cumaean Sibyl, a symbol of connection and transformation.

Grand Finale with Francesco Montanari in “Menecmi” by Plautus
The Festival will end on Sunday 15 September, at 21.00:2024 pm, with Francesco Montanari, one of the most famous actors on the Italian scene, on stage with “Menecmi” by Plautus. This show, produced by Savà Produzioni Creative and adapted by Arianna Mattioli with the direction of Enrico Zaccheo, will tell the story of two twin brothers separated at birth. Through a series of exchanges of people and grotesque situations, Plautus’ comedy, recited by a single actor who will play both characters, promises laughter and moments of reflection for the audience. The Antro XNUMX Festival is therefore preparing to bring art and culture to a heterogeneous audience, with a rich and varied program that will celebrate history, tradition and modernity in an evocative archaeological setting.
