Embalming During Pregnancy

Liolà: yesterday at the Teatro San Luigi Orione

Although the blog has been inactive for a while 'time (for technical issues only partially addressed), the company was certainly not twiddling its thumbs!

And it showed last night, exploding with color, music, and this time with the scents of the earth: in the green and ocher of Olives, the company filed yesterday MediaMusical "Liolà" , Pirandello's original text and translation into Neapolitan Pasquale Cirillo , directed by Liborio Preite.

Liolà 's story is inspired by an episode of Chapter IV of the novel by Pirandello "The Late Mattia Pascal " , written and performed for the first time in 1916 at the Teatro Argentina in Rome . Although it was at war, the imprisonment of her son, the worsening of the mental illness of his wife, the author sees a very playful and cheerful, and the same Pirandello in a letter to his son prisoner, was happy with the his work: " I wrote it in 15 days this summer was my vacation. It's so joyous, that my work does not seem .

The opera starring Neli Schillaci, said Liolà . In rural areas, small in his selfishness and hypocrisy, grandeggia and acts as a subversive element in his Figure panic : a simple laborer who, with no interest in material wealth, lives without hesitation, without even realizing it cheerfully and upsetting, the rules and petty petty modest life of society in which they live.

The peasant society in which one finds this young many resources and the undoubted charm - interpreted as best you could do, Liborio Preite - recalls, in some ways the themes Verga, those with a craving for possession of material wealth, for the land, for stuff.

And it pushes the old stuff Zi '' Ntonio - Antonio Salvoni - to remarry with Rita - Angela Gelardi - for which have an heir to leave all his belongings ... but the child does not arrive ...
So

Lucia - our Maria Pacini - daughter of Zia Cross - Maria Accardo -, scopertasi pregnant Liolà , suggests to his uncle, the Zi '' Ntonio , to attribute the paternity of the child in her womb, thereby silence the evil tongues that they want old and sterile.

This Lucia think of the future and make sure to take revenge not only Liolà , but also Rita old who married the wealthy, creating a position to which she same aspirations.

The plan is well thought out, the poor Rita is out of the house and beaten by her husband.

And here our rules of the offender, the seducer, the Pan sconvolgitore is revealed in reality the only truly good and generous Liolà saves putting pregnant, and reopening a few minutes for a break on their sweet and nostalgic love.

So Zi '' Ntonio Rita resumed at home, preferring this fatherhood, strongly believes that its on that illegal procuratagli Lucia.

In this incident, and alternate mixes piety and wickedness, greed and generosity, joy and calculation ... Pirandello is the end ... and the depth of the content should be hard and tediante Liolà ... yet it is light, almost flying.
fertility, the myth of the Earth, and the fields, happiness are vestiges of a pagan world that seem to be almost laughed and joked until an ending that does not make it to be tragedy, but that is descending.

In a text permeated by a series of country-dances, passions, Marie, and harvests; in a microcosm women, a harem in a world culture and society (the farmer) is going to dissolve, but leaving the legacy of ' interest of' selfishness and grettitudine, the figure of Liolà resolves, lighter, and cheating unravels skeins millennia, is inserted as the only man in a matriarchy that the measure based on what you produce.

are measured in the first place so the vines and almonds, and (reluctantly) is
far as the quality of Rita , producing children is not only good to a servant in house husband; this until it is Liolà to handle the situation, r istabilendo the situation in favor of those who had been unfairly damaged, and against those who used the malice and fraud.
