Following a period of awards and acclaim, Punta Corsara – founded in 2009 as a business culture project – now returns to the Festival with the Italian debut of its latest work. Starting from a historical reconnaissance and reference to real facts, Punta Corsara has developed a highly original, grotesque and realistic stage play. The text meanders through three different periods in the history of Naples: the start of the 1950s; a brief spell in the 1960s; and the end of the 1990s, following the earthquake. Il cielo in una stanza (The World in a Room) highlights the contradictions of today’s society starting from the mid-1900s; fundamental decades behind the social transformations of today, but also leaving a wake of subjugation and repression. In the 1960s Gino Paoli wrote Il cielo in una stanza for Mina, telling of those moments full of dreams and hope, so much so as to modify things to make the world fit into a small room. After more than thirty years, at the end of the 1990s, that same room had no walls nor any roof. Paradoxically, the sky could be seen from every hidden corner.
