Article Key Points
A theatrical work that has the ambition to restore the natural role of the Theatre.
Informative note
To approach the deepening of contemporaneity through the protected light of the theatre. This is the actor's objective in an apparently empty theatre. To search for a new authentic language.
The stage comes to life, involves the audience and welcomes thematic moments with a marked social content. “Nero d'Artista”, “Storia di storie a doppio senso” traverses with irony or with raw truth the deepest sentimental, intellectual and social aspects of humanity.
Deepening
Matured during the creation of the collection of short stories “Il Club dei Vinti” as the fruit of the intellectual encounter between the philosophical thought of Umberto Galimberti and the poetic one of the playwright Patrizio Ranieri Ciu, the work is staged by the artists of Compagnia della Città & Fabbrica Wojtyla, the new architects of the active nihilism proposed by Galimberti, bearers of a convinced message of universal renewal that involves every spectator beyond every limit of appearance. A cultural revolution, the living one of Galimberti and Ciu. A sensitive proposal to overcome every linguistic and cultural frontier of belonging that is an invitation to the shared participation of those absolute values that, free from the constraints of hypocritical selfishness, tend to restore the natural role of the Theater.
Declarations
“Nero d'Artista is the hour X of the existent that resides in the only circumstance free of worry that Time grants us: the Theater. Opened by a generation of young artists, those of Compagnia della Città & Fabbrica Wojtyla who interpret it as a life they would like to live, it is the conceptual representation on stage of what we have become: the broken mirror of our lost identity. The intellectual reflection of Umberto Galimberti accompanies the spectator along the path of my perception of feeling”. – adds the author Patrizio Ranieri Ciu.
The philosopher Umberto Galimberti underlines: “Now X every time will be a circumstance for reflection, because the theatre of Ciu staged by these young artists is absolutely not pure entertainment but tragic resonance”.
“Nero d'Artista blends the poetics of feeling of Patrizio Ranieri Ciu, our reference author, with the conceptual philosophy of prof. Umberto Galimberti, honorary president of ALI della Mente. Nero d'Artista is the discovery of ideal reality as the possibility finally of a “non-model” of a new civilization”. – say the artists of Fabbrica Wojtyla & Compagnia della Città.

This article talks about a very interesting theatrical event but I don't understand how Galimberti's philosophy is linked to the production. I hope that the language is clear and that the audience can understand the themes discussed without problems.
