Southern Italy, the scents of
centuries-old trees, the sound of words and song, the taste of food, the
bitterness of emigration and the emptying of villages, the economic redemption
of the vanquished; Pino Aprile "speaks to us of the South,"
starting with a song he wrote for his friend Al Bano Carrisi, which lends
its title to the musical show. This journey is told and imagined with
the music of Renanera, currently one of the most popular artists of the
southern new wave, the perfect travel companions for experiencing the
South in an intense and engaging show.
A journalist and writer from Puglia, living in the Castelli Romani area,
he was deputy editor of Oggi and editor of Gente. For television, he worked
with Sergio Zavoli on the serialized investigative program "Viaggio
nel Sud" and on the TG1 weekly, Tv7. He is the author of acclaimed
essays translated into several languages.
Terroni, published in 2010, became a real publishing phenomenon, and the
subsequent works Giù al Sud, Mai più terroni, Il Sud puzza and Terroni
‘ndernescional made Aprile the most followed “southern” journalist in
Italy and earned him many awards, including the Carlo Levi Prize in 2010,
the Rhegium Julii in the same year and the Caccuri Prize in 2012.

paused.

A co-production of the G. Placido
Theatre Company in collaboration with Renanera, Fondamenta Teatro e Teatri,
and Gattopardo Production
Created and directed by Gerardo
Placido, a renowned actor and director, "A Love in Yellow Narcissus"
is a play loosely based on the book "Giallo Narciso" by Donata
Maria De Biase (Cairo Editore).
These are the words taken from
the director's notes: "A production that makes use of talented artists,
chosen by me, in which words and poetry will be the protagonists. Along
with them, the art of music and the singing of Renanera to better express
the emotions of this intense love passion. It is the love of Elisa (played
by Underosa), a girl who recounts in a diary, a small love book, her relationship
with a charming and handsome man. In the pages of this diary she creates
a conversation with her dear mother, who, however, will not be able to
reciprocate. One day, like many others, she forgets her diary on a train,
which is found by a fellow traveler named Lorella, who happened to be
on the same train. Lorella, who was sitting opposite Elisa, had noticed
during the journey that Elisa was wearing strange clothing and a hint
of sadness in her gaze fixed out the window, her eyes bright and red,
perhaps from crying. She was clutching this little book close to her,
and in her haste to get off at her station, she forgets it on the train.
Intrigued, Lorella begins to read the girl's diary and, in the words of
the sweet and fragile Elisa, she sees herself and some phases of the relationship
with the man who had left her, and this perhaps becomes the opportunity
to confront her "ghosts." Ghosts and mysteries that emerge in
that reading and that intertwine in an adventurous love story in which
there is more than one heart to save.
