La Capra

Synopsis

Since I was a child, the big question has accompanied my games first and my way of seeing the world later.
"Who has the power, the reasonableness, the daring, the rightness to take the life of another person?"

Artistic research

The show LA CAPRA opens with this question.
A show that in its development does not seek in any way to answer it but to highlight the subterranean, ambivalent and controversial dynamics inherent in the question itself, those of the creation of the scapegoat.
The need to find a culprit, a sacrificial victim, in fact, is the most ancient history of man and is located before myth, before religion, before prohibitions and laws.
LA CAPRA is a contemporary tragedy because it speaks to us of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The show takes place in nature, at sunset, and makes skilful, scenic, scenographic and concretely immersive use of natural light in the landscape.
Through the weighted use of the word and the abundant use of dance (not dance), the choreographic movements of the show are developed around a fragmentary dramaturgy designed to put the viewer in a position to question themselves. Because the theater does not have to answer but leave us naked in front of the questions. And sometimes, show us the invisible.
In July and August 2022 the show is presented in the open-air arena of Recanati 59.
The national debut is scheduled for June 25 at "Il Giardino delle Esperidi Festival" 2023, with a double replica at dawn and dusk.
