Lino Musella is on stage at the Teatro Sannazaro in Naples with his show “L'ammore nun'è ammore” which debuts on May 16. This bold production, signed by the Associazione Culturale Cadmo and accompanied by the hypnotic music of Marco Vidino on stringed instruments and percussion, transforms Shakespeare's classic sonnets into an explosion of raw emotions and Neapolitan passions – a twist that challenges the rules of traditional theater.
An Irreverent Journey Through Shakespeare's Verses
Musella leads the audience on a poetic and visceral journey, where the Bard's immortal verses are "betrayed" in Neapolitan by the whimsical Dario Jacobelli. Born from a previous study at the Festa di Teatro Eco Logico in Stromboli, the show is an unbridled performance of feelings, with magnetic atmospheres that mix love, beauty and the fragility of life in a boldly seductive and down-to-earth language. “Dario Jacobelli, a poet who died prematurely in 2013, author of short stories and novels, a skilled lyricist for musicians such as Bisca, 99 Posse and Almamegretta – recalls the actor – he devoted himself in the last years of his life to the translation into Neapolitan and the betrayal, as he liked to call it, of 30 of Shakespeare's Sonnets. He had no deadlines, he did not have to respect the instructions or corrections of any publisher. As clients he had his dearest friends to whom he dedicated each of his new translations. The Sonnets in Neapolitan sound good. They beat with their own heart. They wear a mask that forces them to rise from the paper to take flight, keeping their feet on the ground”.
Times Not to be Missed
For those who want to dive into this emotional chaos, the shows are scheduled in the following slots: Friday at 21.00:19.00 PM, Saturday at 18.00:XNUMX PM and Sunday at XNUMX:XNUMX PM – don't miss the chance to witness this furious meeting between classicism and Neapolitan rebellion.
