San Marino. Giuliana Musso at the Titano theater with “The monkey”
“Wednesday 12 January 2022 at 9 pm, at the Titano Theater, resumes the Theater Season of San Marino Teatro with The monkey by and with Giuliana Musso, show already scheduled for the 2019/2020 season ″.
To announce it, the Cultural Institutes, which I add: “The monkey it is the allegorical tale of a survival strategy that involves the loss of oneself. Inspired by A relationship for an academy by Franz Kafka and to the whole Kafkaesque metamorphic world, Giuliana Musso, appreciated author and actress of the particular theatrical genre called ‘narrative theater’, creates a new and original text on the condition of man today, which is required to halve the creative part and emotional and to become a pure body that emulates.
A being half ape and half man appears on the stage: it is an animal that talks, sings and dances. A monster or a fool who, as Kafka did a century ago accusing the nationalisms of the time, turns to an audience of distinguished academics of the society of science and tells his story. She was a free ape, the only survivor of a hunt, she was captured, caged and tortured. She cannot escape and to survive the choice of adaptation: she imitates the humans who have captured her, she learns to act and reason like them. The monkey must therefore forget life in the forest, renounce itself, ignore the chemistry of its own body and thus adapt. Learn our language. Also learn to ignore the experience, to think without feeling.
Thanks to the translation and dramaturgical consultancy by Monica Capuani, the original music by Giovanna Pezzetta, the technical direction of Claudio Parrino and the costumes of Emmanuela Cossar, Giuliana Musso proposes a unique and extremely current show, in which she identifies herself in the role of so much humanized to appear similar to us. “The main theme I wanted to develop – explains Giuliana Musso – is the individual’s adaptation to a violent, dominant, dangerous cultural system. Violent because it normalizes violence, because it hierarchizes all living beings dangerous, because it pushes us to a dehumanizing rationality.
Tickets will be on sale online on the website www.sanmarinoteatro.sm, or at the ticket office of the Titano Theater from 5.00 pm on the day of the show until 9.00 pm.
It should be noted that it is now possible to purchase tickets for the shows in January.
The seats will be alternated and the entrance to the theater is allowed only with entry with FFP2 mask ″.
