La poesia è spesso vista come un mezzo di espressione personale e artistica, ma per molti è anche un potente atto di resistenza contro l’oppressione e l’indifferenza.Questo è il tema centrale della conferenza-spettacolo “I Poeti Selvaggi” di Roberto bolaño, che sarà in scena presso la Sala Assoli from 14 to 16 October.
Created by Igor Esposito, with the artistic contribution of Daniele Russo and music by Massimo Cordovani, the show intends to celebrate the strength and courage of a generation of poets who dared to challenge injustice and dictatorships.
The poetic journey in Bolaño's chapters
La conferenza è suddivisa in tre capitoli, ciascuno dei quali rappresenta un pezzo cruciale della vita e del work di Roberto Bolaño.Il primo capitolo introduce il pubblico nel contesto del colpo di stato di Augusto Pinochet, un evento che ha segnato profondamente la giovane vita di Bolaño.
This period is characterized by the encounter with poets such as Carlos Pezoa Veliz and Jorge Telleir, whose verses helped shape Bolaño's artistic vision and poetry as a form of resistance.
The artistic refuge in Barcelona
The second chapter transports viewers to Barcelona, where Bolaño takes refuge in search of new creative inspiration. Here, together with his friend the poet Bruno Montané, he continues to explore the world of poetry, finding comfort and challenge in the works of Enrique Lihn and the tormented creations of Rodrigo Lira.
This period represents a phase of introspection and confrontation with one's personal demons, which are reflected in poetry.
The Echo of Latin American Dictatorships
The third and final chapter addresses the theme of Latin American dictatorships. In this context, the powerful verses of Raúl Zurita emerge, condemning the horror of the desaparecidos, and the poetry of Claudio Bertoni, who with his ironic and colloquial tone offers a critical look at a reality pervaded by suffering and resistance.
These poets become symbols of a struggle that transcends time and space, bringing to light the importance of poetry as a vehicle of denunciation and hope.
The celebration of a collective struggle
“Roberto Bolaño teaches us that a poet can bear everything, but is never alone in his struggle,” explains Igor Esposito. The show “I Poeti Selvaggi” is a celebration of poetry and human resilience, an evocative journey that aims to fill the empty spaces with the words of those who fight for a better world. It is a tribute to those voices that, despite the passage of time, continue to echo with strength and represent a beacon of resistance, love and freedom.
