What remains of a friendship when challenged by changes in its assumptions, the misunderstandings, by the events of personal and historical events. The end of a friendship that tells the exchange of letters constitutes the novel by Kathrine Kressmann Taylor staged by Otto & Company Marvuglia. The fragility of human relationships is represented by the story of Max and Martin, an American and a German, close friends (including the sharing of the art dealers and the affection of a woman - a sister and a lover of Max Martin) among which rises a wall some time after Martin's return to Germany.
Friendship: the noblest feelings, the more sincere, the hearth to retreat in order to feel protected, is here rejected, disappointed, betrayed.
This is the fate of so many relationships around us, about us, that we are victims or responsible. But on stage you tell much more than a history of misunderstandings: it tells of an American jew, Max, and a German, Martin. We are in 1932, Martin returned home and met fatally theories of a new political leader of a new guide able to pull the country out of an economic crisis and values. Between the two friends coming down like a guillotine Hitler.
scene, made from very simple elements (a table, some paintings on easels, and especially the framed letters on the back wall), but invested with meaning by the careful direction of Gabriel Calindri (interesting lights and musical interventions not abused), becomes the place where the two protagonists speak without meeting: the structure epistolary correspondence is in the semantics of sharing a physical space where no space is reflected in the intimate feelings for each other.
outset that the two friends the stories you write a story, short stories inspired by happiness that always has in referring to shared situations, are shaded dall'insinuazione of the doubt, uncertainty becomes a premonition of disaster.
If the focus of the show is on the friendship even more than on historical fact, the true catastrophe lies in the betrayal of affection, which - without anticipating the course of history, to have an amazing and unexpected turn - lead to tragically fatal events .
Like all great novels, whose events are moving in turbulent historical contexts, this is elegantly engraved on political developments leading to the Holocaust. It is not intended to denounce the horror of the text. E 'investigate the human spirit in the face of crisis, change, the questions that the political situation requires. And 'show the weaknesses and fragility of feelings and ties when they take exceptional events, which reveal the contradictions and self-interest also deny that the past more established.
Martin denies friendship with Max jew, liberal theories deny, deny even the doubts that he felt towards' s Hitler, a dictator who plays the hopes, needs, the need of the German people to find a guide a head.
How to read a warning not worrying about this possibility to which our crisis situation can degenerate? They are the great lessons of history, so-called courses and resorts from which it seems that man can never learn to improve.
