She had a pretty red balloon
Angela Demattè
directed by Carmelo Rifici
with Angela and Andrea Castelli Demattè
It 's a intimate scene, one that offers us on the stage: intimate as only a family history can be. In the living style in the sixties, reproduced con esattezza pittorica e illuminato con gradazioni calde, domestiche, un padre e una figlia si scontrano nel più naturale dei conflitti: quello generazionale, che mette a confronto la voglia di cambiare il mondo dei figli contro il tradizionalismo dei padri. Qui, però, il conflitto si colora con i toni della rivolta studentesca che ha portato al Sessantotto, di un nuovo modello di donna consapevole del proprio corpo e delle proprie potenzialità, che non si accontenta più di avere un marito e dei figli come massima (perché unica) aspirazione nella vita; il testo si immerge nelle problematiche sociali e culturali che negli anni Settanta hanno coinvolto i giovani comunisti che volevano ampliare i diritti degli operai e liberare la mente dei cittadini to make them aware that they wanted to oppose an oppressive state and sfruttarore. The show is the story of the Red Brigades were formed, and its founder: Mara Cagol. Indeed, Margaret: smart girl, model student, loving daughter.
The drama is all built on the relationship with his father and on intimacy that binds them: the heated exchanges of views on the relationship of adolescence born in those years with Renato Curcio, the studies in the Faculty of Sociology in Trento, the transfer Milan, the foundation of the Red Brigades, underground, in 1975 killing during a shootout with the police.
In this development of the narrative words fade gradually thinning until almost the end: it is a symptom of a lack of communication that translates the existential irreconcilable clashes with his father. Even the language changes: the impersonal intimacy of the Friulian dialect Italian language after the transfer of Mara in Milan.
The matter was not easy to handle: Angela Demattè it unravels with skill among the thorny paths of human actions, refusing the easy trial without the knowledge and the deepening of a conviction for the Brigades.
The author considers the Cagol, but before you dig into the reasons of a choice, try to understand, following the evolution of its reasons. At the end of the sentence, implied, to get there: but in the meantime abbiamoconosciuto side of human RB. This text
(deserved winner of the Prize Riccione 2009) has found the ideal interpreter Angela Demattè to deeply analyze the intentions and thoughts of Cagol, Andrea Castelli in a realistic and concerned father, a director in Caramel Rifici able to enter Thanks to key naturalism, in the folds of the text. If we find fault say that the ending seemed a bit 'brisk and the text loses some' effectiveness. But these are details that do not question the need to stage cathartically texts that address the immediate past of our country.
