Toni Servillo returns to Eduardo with a comedy he directed and performed together with his brother Peppe, "The voices from within"
Toni Servillo is certainly one of the most acclaimed and talented actors on the national and international artistic scene, both at the theater and at the cinema. A pride for all of us Neapolitans, given its origins and its visceral love for our land.
The protagonist de La Grande Bellezza, his most recent film success, nominated for the Golden Globes, returns to the dramaturgy of Eduardo De Filippo with his brother, Peppe Servillo, choosing a "dramatic" and dark comedy, characterized by enigmatic atmospheres and characters, The voices inside.
Secondo Toni Servillo Eduardo “He is the most extraordinary and perhaps the last representative of a contemporary popular dramaturgy, after him the prevalence of the formal aspect has increasingly distanced the theater from an authentically popular dimension”.
In this text Eduardo manages to create suspended dimensions halfway between dream and reality, delving deeply into the bad conscience of his characters and, consequently, also of the public. The dark story starts after the dream of Alberto Saporito on the murder of a friend, whose culprits would be his neighbors. The confusion between truth and illusion generates a series of suspicions, and a mechanism that will reveal all the pettiness of the protagonists.
To push Eduardo to write this comedy was the collapse of values that would have characterized society following the Second World War for the following decades. "And still today it seems that Alberto Saporito, character-man, comes down from the stage to approach the spectator, telling him that the story that is being narrated concerns him, because we are all victims, overwhelmed by indifference, of another moral post-war"
