From Ireland of the 1900’s to today’s Italy, the psyche of younsters is explored in order to find out what’s behind their fascination with outlaws. The 2012 Arrevuoto edition draws from Il Rub-acuori dell’Ovest, a satire in three acts written by John Synge in 1907, which faces the stuggles and contradictions between the fight to curtail crime and the attraction to it.
During a series of winter workshops, 108 boys and girls from schools throughout the centre and outskirts of Naples follow the line traced by Synge, who tells of a “poor” parricide from 20th century Ireland and the irony behind the fact that he becomes a magnetic figure for the people in his adoptive community while on the run. This is a collective directorial effort which brings comedy to life by offering young generations a voice, in a discourse with the city and its adult inhabitants where it is mostly youths.
Launched in 2005 and promoted by the Teatro Stabile di Napoli, Arrevuoto is a theatre/learning project centred in and around Naples. It originally comes from the “nonscuola” (non-school) tradition of Ravenna’s Teatro delle Albe and was then adapted for the Neapolitan setting. The first three editions were directed by Marco Martinelli, and it has been collectively directed since the fourth edition.
