For purely logistical reasons (I was born in '85), I never Eduardo could see the Grand Master on stage this evening but I think his spirit has revived only for as long as the curtain was raised on one of the finest dramas in the history of the theater and was present in the role and voice of his son Luke too weakened by the gossips that repeat with annoying sing-song at the exit of the theater: "Eh , but not as the father .
Domenico Soriano is a gentleman (now very little " -ino") that can be said, from its 52 years, having had everything in life: women, money, fortune.
the same way as all the young gentlemen like him, he went to recreation often with prostitutes Vico San Liborio (a sort of Street Field Fabrizio de André) and, among others, meets Filumena Marturano which falls madly in love and takes her to live with it.
Filumena But it's still a whore and can not be treated with the same dignity as a woman, even though more than one wife, she loves him, cares for him and is close in the most difficult for twenty-five years; Yet Dominic continues his worldly life completely ignoring the sacrifices of Filumena.
Finally, to convince Domenico to marry her, pretends to be dying and expresses, as a last wish, the Sacred Union, but after the blessing of the priest, revealing the deception and masterminding all staged to give a family her three children who had a secret and you do not know who the father is. What
Filumena did not consider is that the law of the World, that of men, what makes you cry (and his laugh) not accept a marriage extorted by fraud, even if for a purpose so noble then fails to take into hand the situation by confessing that Domenico is one of the three but that his son would never say that because have 'to be all three equal .
legrime I think I came out at the end of each act (there are three in all) and the chills I felt in the most important moments of the drama are worth more than any review that came in my mind. There are no words to
express the beauty of folk wisdom and philosophy of the text, in my opinion, the most beautiful ever written in absolute phrases like The children are not paid have nothing to envy to the now proverbial O Rome or Romeo.
From amateur actor, I think, to Filumena Marturano, it is more difficult to interpret the role for an actress and is a little 'for the role that every actress would test their skills and challenge themselves on one side and all the other great actresses who have worn these clothes from May Pupella for the theater in Sofia Loren for the film adaptation (with Marcello Mastroianni). Challenge, Lina Sastri has been able to face to face high, typical of pesonaggio Filumena. Excellent
was also the work of Luca De Filippo, who has been able to customize the character rather than recline in the shadow of his father by showing that it had indeed a great master ... that was not just Edward, but also the anxiety of having to bear a comparison that should not be entitled to be there.
Really cute characters of Alfred and Rosalie that plays down the scene.
One thing I noticed and appreciated was the choice of directing Francesco Rosi to make everything incredibly static against the incredible dynamism of Filumena as to give greater importance to the character.
idea decidedly different from the version "Edwardian" and perhaps even more apt because, especially in times of major monologues, brings our attention exclusively on the protagonist as evidenced by the great love of family and duty to do everything to protect it and why IJF ' so 'IFJ '. It is just
that might (I say "might") be sore for a Roman audience, you must use the Neapolitan dialect, which sometimes tends to make a tricky understanding to the untrained ear 'Neapolitan accent. But it would be impossible (and ugly) Eduardo in the theater of a perfect Italian diction.
Bottom line: you still more than a month's time. Go see what is a masterpiece of Italian theater and the world generally made by a company of actors really good.
