Article Key Points
The show will be performed on April 25th at 18.00:XNUMX pm at the Tin-Teatro Instabile Napoli and is performed and directed by Gianni Sallustro and includes the author's three texts on the Holocaust and Nazi esotericism: “Shoah-The Belt of Evil”, “Mafalda di Savoia-The Pearl of Buchenwald – The Seven Days” and “Maria Orsic – The Last Truth of Evil – Diary of a Nazi Medium”.
In the show Sallustro plays three key historical figures: Adolf Hitler, Colonel Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg and Heinrich Himmler, Minister of the Interior of the Third Reich and commander of the SS.
"The show – says director Sallustro – is divided into three blocks. In each of these blocks the protagonists will be three characters, generated by Nazism, who can be considered "monsters" not only in a physical sense, but also ideologically and morally. These monsters embody the atrocities that led to one of the darkest periods in history. Masullo himself will comment on their deeds".
This is an analytical and accurate investigation of their psychological, human and spiritual dimension. A journey in the “journey” towards themselves, in the perennial alternation between History and Memory, discovered and hidden, said and unsaid.
Antonio Masullo is the narrator on stage who pushes the three characters to say and reveal the real reasons for the extermination of the Jews and the underlying causes.
The Holocaust seen and interpreted in its now established esoteric key and, also, in an investigative mode towards those who perpetrated or suffered that holocaust. A comparative analysis, with what is happening today in the world, in a scenario between massacre and/or genocide. A theatrical performance contextualized with the actuality of the war events of the present.
Also on stage: Francesca Fusaro, Tommaso Sepe, Vincenza Granato, Roberta Porricelli, Noemi Iovino, Maria Crispo, Gennaro Zannelli, Alessandro Cariello, Stefania Vella, Lea Romano, Ferdinando Cozzolino.

I read the article and it seems interesting, but there is a lot of information and too many characters that can confuse. I hope the show is well done and that it makes you think about the past, even if I don't know how it will be.
