What To Expect A Week Before Period Discharge

" The Betrothed to the test "The Imaginary Invalid

Florence Theatre: November 23 to 28 Teatro Metastasio in Prato hosts "The Betrothed to the test", directed by Federico Tiezzi.

Tiezzi With this show is measured by a giant of Italian culture in the twentieth century, Giovanni Testori , and his rewriting of the work of Alessandro Manzoni to say a word is not rhetoric but from below, the humble, the disinherited, those who identify their lives with respect for others, the world and history - a word on the sesquicentennial anniversary of Italian unity, that unity which Manzoni helped to create the linguistic point of view -literary, engaging in the Tuscan tradition of Lombardy. Units of language as a unity of a nation: culture is not something apart from history but also determines it.



"The Betrothed to the test" was written in 1984 by Giovanni Testori .

"I always felt that the core of the Betrothed, this circle of experience, traversing and reconstruction of the meaning of history made by his characters, in total belonged to the Lombard culture, Italian culture, and both waiting to belong to the culture of the world as an image, some of the meanings coagulant of life that change, yes, but, deep down, remain the same. Then they float in the readings made me a boy, even as a child, long before they did me read in school, and then replicated readings, meetings with all the other pieces of Manzoni, the fact that the places where the novel is winds are the places of my birth and my life, the weight of the continuous attendance of the seventeenth-century painting Lombard ... Maybe I can be more specific and say a necessity, a need for intimate, almost frightening, then it also becomes conscience and duty to give back to myself and my contemporaries in her memory, what the world now seeks to destroy, to eliminate here, I found this and I find him in "The Betrothed, which are eternal memory, and together, Weeping and pleading: imploring our understanding, as if it was, and is our mother ... Now, this memory that I hope to get up on, somehow, from a text as I betrothed to the test, and that this memory without which this is not mentioned, is blind, groping, servants to new owners who repeat, enlarged the old mistakes and is primarily a present that did not, as it were, the shoulder and heart to go into the future. The return of memory, not as nostalgia but as a painful awareness of this is, in my opinion, an active, perhaps the operation more revolutionary today can take place in a mechanism, like, production-, screwball, which tends to reduce man to an object or, worse still, fabricating for himself, man. But to do this, it first must erase the memory of human history, of what it behind because it erases the memory, it is far easier to erase the history present and future history. "[Giovanni Testori, 1984 ]
