The shows not to be missed in Naples for the month of November 2016, including Shakespeare, Eduardo, Emma Dante, Antonio Latella, Marco Travaglio and many others!
Last October 13 left us Dario Fo, beloved writer, playwright, actor and director who contributed, with his works and his incredible personality, to mark the history of theater but also of the entire modern culture. A real artist who made his life, together with his wife Franca Rame, a masterpiece to admire and to take an example from.
“In all my life I have never written anything to just entertain. I have always tried to put that crack in my texts capable of undermining certainties, of questioning opinions, of arousing indignation, of opening heads a little. Everything else, beauty for beauty, doesn't interest me ".
From this famous phrase we take inspiration to advise you the best theatrical performances staged in Naples in November 2016 for the genre prose, opera and ballet, including texts and works able, as Dario Fo himself pointed out, to make people reflect and stimulate the critical sense, opinions and curiosity in the audience.
With the hope that the theater can always have this effect on the public, here are the shows not to be missed in the theaters of Naples, among the classics such as Shakespeare, Tchaikovsky, Eduardo De Filippo, and new dramatists like Emma Dante e Antonio Latella.
