“Epic(mind)”
What if it hadn’t gone as Homer and Virgil say? Epica(mente) reworks the great texts of classical epic in a modern key, with particular attention to the themes of respect for others and gender equality. Thanks to an innovative staging, the 1D students present us with a manifesto of the need for humanity and, above all, of freedom of womencelebrated through the courage and determination of heroines who have inspired and challenged convention for millennia.
“The Betrothed…almost spouses”
With 3G the classic tale of “The Betrothed” mixes with the modern tragedies of a world devastated by war. Love and hope are confronted with brutality and destruction, while the destinies of Renzo and Lucia are intertwined with the broken dreams of children torn from life by the violence of conflicts. The “Promessi…almost sposi” invites us to reflect on thesenselessness of war and on the regenerating force of love. A journey through the depths of the human soul, where imminent death and excruciating pain are swept away by the bright light of hope.
“History in Memory”
Some students from the other third year classes in the school bring back to life the nine Rhodesian citizens deported to the extermination camps. One at a time, towards a destiny of no return, a stone between one stumble and another, forever sealed in I remember.
