| "Heart of cactus in trial | |
will happen to the theater from 18 January to 6 February at the Teatro Franco Parenti, Fausto Russo Alesi bit rterà stage Heart of cactus , based on the book by Calabrò, published in March 2010. The actor will also be responsible in directing and dramaturgy had the cooperation of the same author, who "has cut and 'concentrated' a confession out loud - Calabro said. Before then, Russo Alesi knew him only by name. I'd seen at the Piccolo Teatro of Milan, a wonderful Shylock in The Merchant of Venice Shakespeare, directed by Ronconi ".
Antonio Calabrò, journalist, writer and now director of Foreign institutional and cultural Pirelli and Pirelli Foundation, called the Heart of cactus a diary in public: the private history of man is reflected in the public affairs of a country of which you follow the political, economic and cultural from the sixties to today. E 'stock of their lives, lived between Palermo and Milan, and choices; an attempt to confront his own time and with the nostalgia of memories, with their professional commitment and culture, with its role as "one who goes away. "
Calabro, born in Patti (Me), chose to depart from his native Sicily in 1985, after fifteen years of professional growth in the drafting of Time, Journal of civil battle against the Mafia. On the same day of the killing of his Ninni Cassara, the Commissioner engaged in the fight against the Mafia, Calabrò decides to leave for Milan, emblem of a dizzying route north industrial and social unrest.
In the show, Fausto Russo Alesi amalgam and superimposes his own experience to the story of Calabria, giving voice and body to the wound opened by the internal rift between the island's strong sense of their roots and the desire, the need to go elsewhere ; between the search for themselves in the places of their origins or find themselves elsewhere, with the temptation to give up the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving betrayed their country and the knowledge that he had not.
"In Sicily you have more courage to stay, that from - he explains . But stay there, the whole feel, that feeling described by Calabro, being forced from the sea ".
The staging, which provides the piano accompaniment on stage, is based on these two elements: the distance and that of the "open wound", the interpreter tries to soothe the pain through the story. A story that is an act of love towards Sicily, a love that remains (despite the difficult relationship with their land of origin), as water stored in the heart of the cactus in the desert.
The legitimate conclusion their choices and give them the confirmation of the facts: "You really have to go to sea, to find themselves" .
