During the presentation of the first theatrical season of the Carani Theater after the reopening in 2024, scheduled for Tuesday 2 July starting at 6.30 pm in the theatre, the premiere of the last episode of “Ieri, Oggi, Carani” will also be held: sixth and last episode of the docuseries produced by TILT APS Youth Association and the Municipality of Sassuolo with the support of the Modena Foundation and the Emilia-Romagna Region.
The first five episodes of the docuseries directed by Federico Ferrari, Giovanni Bursi, Letizia Ballarini and Mirco Marmiroli recounted the extraordinary cultural world of which Carani was part where in 90 years of history over 10 million spectators cried, laughed and felt emotions at interior of this room combining a part of fiction narrated by RAI journalist Gloria Aura Bortolini with the voices of Nek, Alberto Bertoli, Leone
Magiera, Daniele Rubboli, Raina Kabaivanska, Adua Veroni, Paolo Dal Bon, the historic projectionist Ruggero Casolari and Caterina Caselli. A place where Sassuolo has built its identity, where entire generations have met, fallen in love, compared. Where important pages of the history of the Sassuolo community have been written, where the history of Italy has stopped several times. The last episode instead tells the reopening of the Theater and future projects.
The last episode of the docuseries tells the story of the birth of the idea of reopening the Teatro Carani launched in 2018 through the voices of the President of the Fondazione Teatro Carani Claudia Borelli and the vice-presidents Luca Mussini and Franco Stefani as well as the planning phase and the construction site works narrated by the director of the works and the designers and a look at the programming with the director Fabrizio Abati.
“The reopening of the Carani Theater – comment the directors of the docuseries – represents a unique event on the Italian scene both for the far-sighted choice to invest in one of the iconic places of the city and the entire District, and for the degree of technological innovation used. In addition to the story told by those who lived the whole story as protagonists, we decided to include two specific focuses on the past and the future. The first features Maria Teresa Frigieri, granddaughter of Eugenio Carani, who recalls the works and first films seen at the Carani after its opening in 1930 together with the images of Villa Carani, opened to cameras for the first time. The second is a journey through the world of the Carani Theater carried out by Alberto Bertoli together with the 4B class of the Sant’Agostino Primary School of the IC Sassuolo 1 center east, made up of 9-year-old pupils, the same ones from whom the Carani Theater was closed” .
