Brescia, on stage at the Teatro Sociale “Clytemnestra”, an in-depth analysis of the themes of the show and the myth of the queen of Mycenae and murderer of Agamemnon.

Thursday 10 February at 20.30 pm, “Clitemnestra” by Luciano Violante will be performed at the Teatro Sociale. A production by the Teatro Stabile d'Abruzzo directed by Giuseppe Dipasquale and with Viola Graziosi.
The evening is promoted by the Brescia Bar Association, the Brescia Theater Center and the Brescia House of Memory.
A special appointment which sees the participation of the former President of the Chamber for a meeting with the public in the room introducing the show, in dialogue with the Mayor of Brescia Emilio Del Bono. An important moment of in-depth analysis of the themes of the show and the myth of Clytemnestra: queen of Mycenae and murderer of Agamemnon, an archetypal figure whose story, in Violante's contemporary narration, opens up urgent questions on the topic of justice.
Murderer for revenge or murderer for justice? This is the question posed by Violante when drawing his Clytemnestra, an emblematic figure that travels from myth to contemporaneity, supported by a tragic phrasing that sculpts the words on the declination of a story of perpetual post-mortem exile. Violante takes her loneliness, crosses it and transforms it into rebellion.
It is a song in the pain of a mother who suffered the unjust sacrifice of Iphigenia at the hands of her ambitious father. It is a song of purification, because condemned to wander in eternal nothingness in order to amend a murder that is unacceptable in the bed of modern Western patriarchy.
On this journey, Clytemnestra goes through her destiny and reconciles with herself.
Luciano Violante gives life to the story of a woman who awaits the moment of redemption (or revenge?) with patience and firmness for a time so long as to be inconceivable for male thought. Giving voice and body to this extraordinary figure is Viola Graziosi, a sensitive and highly talented interpreter, who returns to Brescia after collaborating with the Brescia Theater Center in the 2021 summer season at the Cloister of the Mina Mezzadri Theatre.
