At the New Teatro Troisi, a prestigious theater on Via Leopardi masterfully led by Pino Oliva, comes one of the most anticipated events of the comedy season: "I promessi suo-ceri," running from December 18th to 21st and from January 1st to 4th at 9:00 pm, with non-season ticket performances from January 5th to 7th. The comedy, written, directed, and starring Paolo Caiazzo, stars his longtime stage partner Maria Bolignano, a now iconic duo beloved by audiences for their chemistry and comedic verve.
The title itself, "The Betrothed," plays on the classic "The Betrothed" to clearly state the nature of the work: a brilliant, fast-paced comedy, built on precise theatrical mechanisms and an irony rooted in everyday life. On stage, alongside the two protagonists, a close-knit and highly effective cast: Antonio D'Avino, Yuliya Mayarchuk, Domenico Pinelli, and Giovanna Sannino, are called upon to portray a human ensemble that reflects and amplifies the contradictions of the contemporary family.
Caiazzo, with his unmistakable style, observes and narrates the relationships between in-laws and sons-in-law, in-laws and extended families, balancing affection and sarcasm, between immediate laughter and subtle exposure of domestic hypocrisy. Misunderstandings abound, the jokes hit the mark, and family skirmishes become living narrative material, creating a relatable and universal narrative.
"I promessi suo-ceri" is thus a loving yet poignant portrait of contemporary society, a worthy heir to the great Neapolitan comedy tradition, capable of making people laugh without sacrificing a critical analysis of human relationships. This show confirms the New Teatro Troisi as one of the most prestigious venues for Neapolitan auteur comedy.
