TRANI (BAT) – Second appointment in prison for the DRIFFest 2024. The protagonist, the theatre, tomorrow, at 3.30 pm, in the prison of Trani (male section), in collaboration with the Regional Guarantor of the rights of people subjected to restrictive measures of the personal freedom. On stage “Ulysses, one of us”, the outcome of a workshop organized by the social cooperative I bambini di Truffaut with prison inmates, organized by the actress Ilaria Cangialosi, in collaboration with Orizzonti Solidali of the Megamark Foundation.
“If at least once in your life, you had to choose what was the lesser evil and you found yourself navigating a sea of trouble, then this is your story too.”
Together with Ulysses we made a journey that lasted eight months, discovering his humanity: fragility, fears, remorse. His story thus became a mirror capable of reflecting us; the separation from Penelope and little Telemachus; feeling obligated to follow one’s destiny; sailing without knowing if he will ever make it home. A long crossing in deep waters, between calm and storm, exploring the boundaries of evil and good. Ulysses is us and perhaps, at times, if you let yourself be carried away, you will be too. (Ilaria Cangialosi)
The week of the festival will end in Mola di Bari, on Friday 28 June, at 7.30 pm, in the Cloister of the Monastery of Santa Chiara, with “Del Racconto, gli (In)separabili”. “Listen Beyond the Ocean” (published by White Clown) by Stefano Bon, presented by the teacher Graziana Moro, is an adult coming-of-age novel, in which hardness and fragility alternate to give the reader the arc of a life like many others. That of Giovanni, a man on the run from himself and his past.
Space, to follow, to one of the cases of the last cinematographic season, The invention of snow by Vittorio Moroni, a great little film, shot in Puglia, presented at the Authors’ Days of the 80th Venice International Film Festival.
