“The game of the epidemic” is staged at Don Bosco
Detainees and prisoners return to perform in a tragicomedy, on the occasion of the World Day of Theater in Prison
PISA – The occasion is special: March 27 is the World Prison Theater Day, a moment of celebration and reflection by UNESCO on the diffusion of performative practices in prisons, on their educational character and on their ability to surprise artistically and socially. So, in a few days, 15 students, including Don Bosco actors and prisonersthey will perform in a show freely drawn from The epidemic game by Eugenio Ionesco.
Through separate paintings, they will tell about it unleashing an epidemic in a city and in an undefined time. The result is the fresco of a tried humanity, poised between the tragic and the comic: a humanity that, unprepared, finds itself facing the great theme of the precariousness of existence just as the pandemic aftermath left.
Reduced by the success of Radio Dante – the radio project for Dante’s eighteenth century now available in podcast – the actors of Don Bosco finally return to the “scene” on March 31, coordinated by Francesca Censi, Gabriele Carli, Letizia Giuliani, Carla Buscemi and Davide Barbafiera.
The school of Don Bosco Theatermade by the company Sandbagsthanks to the contribution of Tuscany region and of Pisa Foundation it is a stable point of reference within the activities of the Don Bosco Prison and these shows, now open to their own others and to rare staff, represent a moment of profound sharing.
The lessons of the Don Bosco Theater School will continue until Fiugno and will have new unexpected developments, also thanks to a nascent collaboration with the Internet Festival of Pisa: to enhance the training offer, a new discipline, linked to video-theater and video-art. The actors will thus create small video works, free to circulate for festivals and reviews, so as to ensure greater visibility for this precious work.
