Theatre
Giorgio Sangati - Comeradovera
Description
Comeradovera is a phrase that in Venice is not only a proverbial saying but something more: an architectural and existential principle. According to this maxim, the Campanile of San Marco was rebuilt in 1903 after its collapse, and the same would happen with the Teatro La Fenice after the fire of 1996. The performance places at the centre of its reflection precisely the fire that destroyed the celebrated theatre, but does not confine itself to a simple forensic and artistic reconstruction of the event (whose thirtieth anniversary falls this year).
Interweaving stories, points of view, details, states of mind, times and memories—public and private alike—Comeradovera reflects on the relationship between the life of an individual or a community and the traumatic experience of loss: how do we react when something fundamental disappears forever? Director Giorgio Sangati and dramaturg Stefano Fortin sign the production, performed by newly graduated actors from the Accademia Teatrale Carlo Goldoni.
