The new production of the Drama di Napoli, in collaboration with various Italian theatre institutions, brings to the stage San Ferdinando Theater an unedited reading of one of Georg Büchner's most enigmatic masterpieces. The play opens on Tuesday, November 26 and runs through December 1, presenting a modern and biting analysis of one of the most intense works of modern theatre.

A Cast of Talent

At the center of the narrative, Alberto Boubakar Malanchino, recently awarded the Ubu Under 35 Prize, plays the main role, supported by Tony Laudadio, Federica Sandrini and Edoardo Sorgente. Tommaso Tuzzoli's direction offers a new perspective on the story, highlighting the raw and dreamlike themes of the text.

Universal Themes

The production explores fundamental themes such as existential unease, social marginalization and violence, embodied in the protagonist, a man trapped in humble occupations and in situations of degradation that reflect modern anxieties. The story of his partner Marie, a victim of violence, emerges as a powerful indictment against the condition of women in marginalized contexts. The drama continues at the San Ferdinando, testifying once again to the universal and timeless relevance of Büchner's works.
