Baudelaire, Dante, i Greci
Giuseppe Montesano and Toni Servillo combine theatre and literature by leading the audience on a three-stage journey, a cure for the mental paralysis that nurtures our inner selves. Building on their 20-year friendship and countless collaborations, the writer and performer deliver an antidote to pessimism and emotional and mental illiteracy by expressing words full of meaning and beauty, kindling the flame that a line from Dante or Baudelaire, or a fragment from Heraclitus, or even Plato’s Eros can spark: it is a leap that is within our grasp because it already lies within us. Through Servillo’s voice, some of the greatest authors of the past teach us how to rediscover the enchantment of life, dispelling depression, injustice, and violence and kindling a vision capable of imagining the future.
