THEATRE and OPERA
- I thought you hated the theatre.
- I also hate the sight of blood, but it's in my veins.
Charlie Chaplin
DIOGENES
(a monologue in three scenes)
An actor, Nemesio Rea, seen in three different moments of his life.
What do a 13th-century Tuscan farmer recovering from a fierce battle, an actor at the height of his success who has just been abandoned by his wife, a man who has given up everything to live in a garbage can have in common? Simple, they are the same person. To be precise, Nemesio Rea.
This is the paradox from which the show "Dioggene" starts. A monologue spanning the ages written by Giacomo Battiato specifically for the actor Stefano Fresi. Alone on stage, Fresi takes on the role of three different characters to recompose the puzzle of a single life, to tell the story of a man in all his absurd contradictions, pettiness, but also flashes of genius and enlightenment.
COSÌ FAN TUTTE
The elusive desire, the bitter fun of infidelity, the ambiguous complexity of the human soul. A magical work, full of lightness and depth. Eternal..

SIMONE BOCCANEGRA
A sad opera, loved by Verdi “as you love a hunchback son”. Dark and tormented melodrama on the upheavals of political power and the crisis of family affections.
