For the first time in Naples, Eduardo's voice will recite "The Tempest" in the Neapolitan language in an original version for puppets
Eduardo De Filippo he was the author of a Neapolitan version of Shakespeare's famous theatrical drama The storm, which was performed, in Neapolitan dialect in 1985 at the Goldoni Theater in Venice, to inaugurate the Biennale Teatro directed at the time by Franco Quadri.
A year had passed since Eduardo's death, and his latest work was this splendid de version The storm thought for the puppet theater, Where the Neapolitan language and the "popular" dimension of a text visited and revisited through numerous interpretations, was perceived as the most intense and most concrete point of connection with the puppet theater that makes the world of fantasy tangible with its magic and its scenic enchantments .
This particular edition of the La Storm Shakespeare will then go on stage, to pay homage to Eduardo, al Acacia Theater, from December 6 8 all'2014, in an event that falls within the program of Universal Forum of the Cultures of Naples.
The director of this amazing show will take care of this Carlo Colla & Figli Company which will fulfill Eduardo's intention to render The storm a puppet show".
The text is therefore experienced as a great adventure, a great fable in which, around the central characters, a world of colors moves (violent for the city of Tunis, rarefied and opalescent for the places of love of Miranda and Ferdinando, livid and gloomy for the conspiracy of the Powerful, gloomy and disquieting for the conspiracy of the Fools), of sounds, allegories and symbols; the world of theatrical magic, stage tricks (lightning, rain, the ship engulfed by the waves, streams and waterfalls) and supernatural creatures.
The "interpretations" of Ariel, a mischievous Neapolitan and Caliban scugnizzo, a tall 110 cm giant that moves eyes and ears, showing the tongue, needs three movers to move and that is cumbersome even when it is "stowed" in the collapsed warehouse of the Colla.
To make the puppet show even more impressive the true voice of Eduardo which, after almost thirty years, he will act The storm with the original music of Antonio Sinagra, landing for the first time in Naples in its full version.
