OUVERTURE - FOR CARLO BERNARI
WITH  ENRICO BERNARD
READINGS BY  ANDREA DE GOYZUETA

We say Carlo Bernari and we immediately think of the Three workers, that is, the novel that opened a new path in Italian literature of the twentieth century. Much less known is his limited production in verse. If we can read it, paying homage to it, we owe it to the work of the son of the writer Enrico Bernard, himself an author and playwright, who collected it in Cose in versi.

 

THE DEATH OF BEAUTY
Voices in concert for  Giuseppe Patroni Griffi
WITH  NADIA BALDI, ANTONELLA IPPOLITO
AND WITH  DARIO ZENO  (PIANO),  RENATO SALVETTI  (GUITAR),  ANDREA BONIOLI  (BATTERY),  VILLARI MICHELE  (SAX AND CLARINET),  ANDREA COLELLA  (DOUBLE BASS),  ROBERTA ROSSI  (VOICE)
ORIGINAL MUSIC BY ANDREA BONIOLI, ROBERTA ROSSI
DIRECTOR  NADIA BALDI

Classic and historical novel. It is the story of a homosexual love between two young people, against the backdrop of a Naples in the middle of the war and under the air raids; sensual and sentimental love, controversial and denied, which the cruel and enchanted atmosphere of a fatal city makes symbolic like the flames that exalt and destroy it.

On the scenario of a war-period Naples emerges the conflict between the sentimental education and the hidden homosexuality of the sixteen-year-old Eugenio who, threatened by the young German Lilandt, first rejects him and then rushes impetuously into a love bond.

The death of beauty, in the re-adaptation, respects and exalts the "water style" of Patroni Griffi which, associated with the ability of the performers to deal with a rare gestural and vocal aptitude a subject as delicate as homosexuality, flows fluently like water.

OUVERTURE - POINTS
WITH  ANDREA CASSESE
WITH  FEDERICA GIORDANO, FRANCA MANCINELLI

Two poets of the last generations give each other the relay, both careful to identify the primary feelings and give them their voice. A singer-songwriter-architect, author of The Minority, acts as a musical counterpoint. Verses and songs are the opposite of each other

 

FOR ANNA MARIA ORTESE
WITH  LICIA T-SHIRT

Licia Maglietta is not new in comparison with literature. Just think of his relationship with the verses of Alda Merini.
This time the meeting is completely new. As in the case of Carlo Bernari, Anna Maria Ortese also dealt with writing in verse. The two books in which they were collected bear witness to this: My country is the night and The moon that passes.

 

22 JUNE

h 19.00

EWA  LIPSKA 
WITH  MARINA CICCARINI  AND  MARCO BRUNO

Among the greatest Polish poetesses, Ewa Lipska is able to cross the present time with a disillusioned irony. A great friend of Wisława Szymborska, questions like this one meet in her verses: «I don't even know / if it is history that created us / or if we created history. If we are only the echo / of someone else's heart ». It will be introduced by two of its faithful translators.

 

DEVORAH MAJOR
WITH  GASPARE DI LIETO  (PIANO)

Born in California, granddaughter of immigrants, she is the third graduate poet of San Francisco. Multifaceted, she frequents multiple genres of writing. The first Italian book of the Major, just published by Multimedia editions, is entitled A Open Arms. And there one encounters the paradoxical poverty of love which we increasingly need.

 

23 JUNE

h 19.00

OUVERTURE - GENERATIONS
EMANUELE CERULLO, ACHILLE PIGNATELLI - FRANCESCO IANNONE, ANTONIO TRUCILLO

Two young people intertwine their voices, sharing different experiences. Experiences that give new names to places in the city such as Scampia for example.
Two other poets belonging to different generations, who know how to mirror each other, act as a counterpoint.

 

TIZIANO SCARPA
Look, I'm telling you something I'd rather not say
You will not be unharmed by reading The clouds and money: Tiziano Scarpa's poems have aroused strong discussions on the net, they have bounced on social networks, touching the minds of readers, beyond the circle of poetry enthusiasts. With his expressive momentum and his great experience as a scenic reader, the author recites and comments them, alternating them with the rhyming stories of his latest book, Una dragonfly of the city.

SHAKING UP ONEGIN
Remembering  Pia Pera
VERY FREELY DRAWN FROM  EVGENIJ ONEGIN  FROM  ALEKSANDR PUŠKIN
ADAPTATION AND VOICE  ROBERTO DE FRANCESCO
WITH  FERRUCCIO SPINETTI  (CONTRABASS)
WITH  EMANUELE TREVI

Roberto De Francesco has been studying Pushkin's verses for years. And he studies them using Pia Pera's translation, and from there he starts with his own vocal interpretation, punctuated by the nomadic notes of Ferruccio Spinetti.
Emanuele Trevi is entrusted with the task of drawing a portrait of Pia Pera, a writer-translator who, despite having passed away too soon, left her own peculiar mark in Italian culture.

 

25 JUNE

h 19.00

CELEBRATING RINO MELE
WITH  MARIO MARTONE  AND  ALDO MASULLO
Rino Mele must undoubtedly be celebrated. Multifaceted, eclectic, forerunner of themes and motifs, capable of bringing different worlds into contact, he has always made poetry the pivot around which everything else revolves. And that there are a man of cinema and theater and a philosopher to introduce it confirms its undoubted originality.

 

THE FINAL
WITH  ANTONIO RAIA  (SAXOPHONE) E  RENATO FIORITO  (ELECTRONICS)

To Antonio Raia, author of Asylum, a solo exploration cd of sounds dug in the air with the saxophone, the task of stripping some songs and then slowly reassembling them. Raia, inspired by Mele's writings, will propose a work created specifically for the festival.

 

26 JUNE

h 19.00

SOTIRIOS PASTAKAS
For  Sandro Penna

Who better than Sandro Penna embodies the simple (but so complex) cantability of life! And it really is no coincidence that a Greek poet made it a translator.
To him the task of mirroring his own verses in those of the Umbrian poet.

 

CHIARA CIVELLO
What if
CHIARA CIVELLO  (GUITAR, PIANO AND VOICE)

«I would like to live asleep / within the sweet noise of life», Penna said. And it seems that Chiara Civello was guided in her work as an author and interpreter by these verses. It's hard to find songs relived from the inside out like she does. Cosmopolitan and profoundly Italian at the same time, Civello guides us through those feelings which, although belonging to everyone and common, appear different and unique each time.

“THAT OTHERS BOAST IN WHAT THEY HAVE WRITTEN, I AM PROUD OF WHAT I HAVE READ”. Jorge Luis Borges

MEETINGS WITH  DANIEL PENNAC, MASSIMILIANO BARBINI  AND  LUDOVICA TINGHI
A PROJECT BY  CENTER OF SCENE ARTS  AND  AUDIOVISUAL (HOME)

duration 1 hour and 30 min
free admission meeting subject to availability

FREE ENTRY. THE ADMISSION PASS CAN BE WITHDRAWN STARTING FROM ONE HOUR BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING, DIRECTLY ON THE SITE OF THE EVENT.

Meeting Pennac means embarking on an intimate and shared journey to discover the collective experience of reading and writing. What drives us to write? Where does the insatiable appetite for reading come from? What is curiosity, what is narration and what are their multiple manifestations? What is the meeting point between the writer and his readers, or between the writer and the reader in him? These are the questions that the project involving Daniel Pennac, Massimiliano Barbini and Ludovica Tinghi wants to answer.
