The Betrothed to the test , Testori in Legnano Legnano - Tuesday, February 8 to 21, the big event of the inaugural season of ScenAperta Class. At La Galleria di Legnano, staged "The Betrothed to the test" by Giovanni Testori, directed by Federico Tiezzi.
On a makeshift stage, it must be supposed in some neighborhood not exactly "good" in Milan, a Master, the old comedian, is anxious to play to a group of comedians that nothing shabby Manzoni's masterpiece. So start
"I promesa married to the test", with text that in 1984 Giovanni Testori, after rewrites by Shakespeare and Sophocles, this comes to its inevitable finish. Main interest is to make del romanzo uno "specchio" in cui riflettere i suoi "anni tribolatissimi" che, a ben vedere, sono anche i nostri. Quante pesti ci affliggono! quella del degrado dell'ambiente, dell'indurimento dei cuori, dell'omologazione delle coscienze, dell’allontanamento graduale dalla realtà, dell'incapacità di vedere la trasformabilità della società.
Soprattutto la peste della chiusura alla diversità, alla comunicazione, al mondo.
Ed è al desiderio di aprire gli occhi sulla realtà (e con lo strumento dell’umorismo manzoniano) che gli interventi testoriani si appigliano per dissezionare i nuclei narrativi originari e ricomporli in parabole insieme sceniche e morali. A differenza delle sue reinvenzioni Shakespearean, even from the title indicated by a linguistic distortion (The Ambleto, Macbeth), and in this case remains intact, as if intangible, the formula Manzoni, and there you just add the specification: "the test". In these two words is not only an indication that the novel will be pushed into the territory of the theater, but across the immensity of the whole work, and perhaps the whole life, Testori: verification of their loves, their passions human and cultural, "test" ...
Moreover, the "test" is, in every sense, the heart of the work as a director, in the double sense of "put into evidence" the feasibility of a theatrical text or any stage of a hypothesis, and "verify" his estate in a historical situation changed. And this premise is based on the work of Tiezzi, not an explanation of the novel but, as he wished Testori, a "lesson and a warning" The Betrothed because they are "the novel of history, and the people in this story embodies the absolute freedom ". In a structure similar to that of Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an Author, on a bare stage, there is the evidence of a "comedy to be done" where the themes of reflection on the theater and its communication behavior, mix together the great grounds Manzoni's mercy, grace, evil and death, of Providence and salvation. Don Abbondio, Renzo, Lucia, from Christopher, the Unnamed, Don Rodrigo returned to us through the body and the voice of the protagonists of 'evidence' in a mixture of shares and a vivid theatrical roles.
With this show deals with Testori Tiezzi and Manzoni, to say a word, not rhetoric but also that it starts from below, from the humble, the disinherited, those who identify their lives with respect for others, the world and history - a word on the sesquicentennial anniversary of Italian unity, that unity which Manzoni helped to create in terms of linguistic and literary, engaging in the Tuscan tradition of Lombardy. Units of language as a unity of a nation: culture is not something separate from history but also determines it. In
teatrografia Federico Tiezzi, Betrothed to test these to make up a perfect diptych with Simon Boccanegra recently directed at the Staatsoper in Berlin and then at La Scala: Verdi and Manzoni have contributed by "artists", and why no other artist, the unity of the nation.
enters into force, as of this date, the Convention between ScenAperta and the exhibition of Rodin - the origins of genius:
