If peace
A training camp for young recruits during one of the many wars surrounding us. Athens, 400 years BC, during the Peloponnesian War. What unites such distant times and places is the impossibility of imagining a truce and, at the same time, the hope that it is not unattainable.
A man, who is a soldier and a father, undertakes the impossible task of getting close to the
Peace to free her. He chooses to do so without resources and at the mercy of general derision, surrounded by mythical and real figures who interfere with his actions.
The students of “Se arti sceniche” try their hand at staging Aristophanes’ “La Pace,” rewritten and adapted for the first year of their pre-academic program.
The show alternates the Greek playwright's typical grotesque tones with moments of contemporary drama; the protagonists are young people as students, as actors, and as witnesses of a time—the present—in which the term "peace" once again takes on a utopian connotation. The chosen languages range from prose theater to choreography, from film to poetry.
Edited by: Rossella Contu, Cecilia Maggio and Giovanna Stella.
On stage: Alice Dellapiana, Andrea Abrigo, Aurora Gaudino, Carolina Cirio, Carlo Pitino, Elena Cavallero, Elena Rastelli, Giulia Raduano, Iris Bruno.
