Messina: national premiere of the show "In Alto Mare" at the Teatro dei 3 Mestieri.
Friday 28 and Saturday 29 April at 21.00 pm, and Sunday 30 April at 18.30pm, will be staged in its national premiere "On the high seas” (Terrestrial Nutrient Production and Sancho's Castle) by Sławomir Mrożek, With the direction, lighting and stage space design by Roberto Zorn Bonaventura. Protagonists on stage the actors Giulia De Luca, Francesco Natoli, Gianfranco Quero and Michelangelo Maria Zanghì.
On a small raft high above the sea, three elegant castaways, the big, the medium and the small, collide and they debate on which of the three it should be eat to save the other two. Between surreal political logic and tragicomic psychological tensions, we will arrive at one choice. But is it the right choice? Are we really sure that this is the humanity we want?
On the high seas it is a ferocious text because, through its surreal comedy, and through the ancient metaphor of the shipwreck as a misfortune that unites us, it gives us back remnants of humanity that you dehumanizes moment after moment, explicitly seeking, from the first point, with logics of abuse and violence, the sacrificial victim which allows the two castaways who call themselves executioners, an illusory survival which in reality is still one step closer to the end.
Un text which, sixty years after its release, is still sensationally current for temi which puts: the inconclusiveness of politics, the falsity and opportunism of social relationships, the impossibility of escaping from a metaphorical sea that surrounds us, a sea that continually threatens to swallow us. A text which cruelly reminds us how much we are measly and how much we could have been best.
