Filippo Timi is the author, director and performer of an unusual, eccentric and over the top "Don Giovanni" but from which its true essence emerges
From 29 November to 8 December 2013 al Teatro Bellini of Naples will be held one of the flagship shows of this theatrical season just begun. In fact, it will be on stage "Don Giovanni" according to Filippo Timi, one of the creative theatrical and cinematographic geniuses of our times who rewrites, reinterprets and reinterprets one of the most famous characters in the world, through the words of Tirso de Molina, Mozart's opera and Molière's comedy, and brings out , in a colorful and explosive way, all its true essence.
Don Giovanni - Living is an abuse, never a righto, is the title chosen to stage one of the theatrical and literary "legends" and "myths" best known and represented in the world, in which the same Filippo Timi plays in the role of the eccentric protagonist, whose main characteristic expressed is the constant "hunger", understood as the voluptuousness and insatiability of an entire humanity, "the hunger for power inherent in man, without exception, the hunger to resist, to mystify, to deceive oneself rather than survive ”.
Don Giovanni by Filippo Timi he is a character whose destiny is already marked, and not because we know him as spectators for almost four centuries, but because he himself knows his end: “Don Giovanni knows his end, it's just a matter of running up”.
The character of Don Giovanni is interpreted as a whole history of humanity dyingbecause it was wrong but also because it is alive, because "Alive is only what dies".
Don Giovanni is an entire history of humanity dying. Finally, after his run-up, after millennia of hunger, here he is paying the bill. There is no escape: if not even an awake and enjoyable humanity, out of the rules and focused on pleasure like Don Giovanni, cannot exempt itself from its most important appointment with death, then not even we can no longer pretend nothing has happened.
There are no better words to understand this incredible piece made by the Teatro Stabile dell'Umbria and Teatro Franco Parenti in Milan, those used by its author, director and actor Filippo Timi:
Everyone has their own story, I mine, you yours, yours and yours Don Giovanni has its own. He did not choose to be born Myth, it happened to him, and he does not shy away from being himself. That's what's great at. Not because he accepts death, he must, like everyone else. He's great because he fully accepts the inevitable consequences of being nothing but himself.
