Compagnia della Fortezza
SANTO GENET
inspired by Jean Genet
drama and direction Armando Punzo
For the second year, the Compagnia della Fortezza continues to walk through the work of Genet, a French author whose words have turned vile matter into gold, imagining chains as flower necklaces,the beauty where there was the horror.
The work of the Compagnia offers a frontal staging, to transpose that very rarefied atmosphere within the space of the Italian theatre, creating some sort of sanctuary where people celebrate both the funeral of the Real and the baptism of the Possible.
