With Arsenal of Arts for the nights of archeology - general rehearsal

In the evocative setting of the Dome of Semifonte, already a place of poor battle, the theatrical company Arsenale delle Arti, with readings, sound and visual impressions, will open a glimpse of the literary representation of war in the ancient world, where the heroic ideal is accompanied by awareness of the human dramas behind the war events.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES

I will disappear without a name, in the invisible desert of nothingness.
The echo of my lamentation will remain, a feeble song for those who will come

(Euripides, Troiane)

Paths in the night lead to a place of memories of pain, massacre, war. A monument stands in memory of a tragic past.

An open and illuminated dome is the place of the profound, of the individual and collective consciousness, a casket of the soul.

In the darkness of the night, intrigued branches of trees are uneasy thoughts, confused memories of a man whose consciousness re-emerges as from an inner forest-labyrinth, from an encounter with an impossible and always invoked death as a cessation of pain.

A telephone rings and emotional syncretism between memories create connections between parallel worlds. The soldier, now a relic reduced to a mutilated and fragmented body, becomes a paradigmatic history of pain that recalls the archetype of other immortal stories, of legends that found Western culture: myths.

Voices emerge from the dome of the human soul and presences, simulacra take shape because they share, sublimate in a poetic song the pain of all the victims: the great illusion of immortality in the beautiful heroic death.

"There is nothing noble about dying.

Not even when one dies for honor "

(D. Trumbo, And Johnny took the gun, 1939)
