Arturo Cirillo - Fifteen young people with some experience
Description
Following the success of Gli ultimi giorni dell’umanità by Karl Kraus at the last Biennale Teatro, the Scuola del Teatro di Napoli returns with the young actors of its second year, this time under the direction of Antonio Cirillo. Together they pay tribute to Enzo Moscato, a key figure of Neapolitan dramaturgy who passed away two years ago, who, together with Annibale Ruccello, reinvented the Neapolitan tradition through a musical and dreamlike writing — an amalgam of dialect, ancient and modern languages that becomes both matter and stage, delving into the human soul and the concrete and metaphorical fragility of the city of Naples.
Quindici ragazzə con qualche esperienza softens the individuality of its characters into the choral dimension of the young actors, drawing on two of Moscato’s texts from the 1980s, Festa al celeste e nubile santuario and Ragazze sole con qualche esperienza.
