A torrent of symbols triggers a series of flashbacks and short circuits in the mind: the Neapolitan director Pierpaolo Sepe bring to Pausilypon’s great theatre the verses of Yiannis Ritsos, one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. Mixing past and present, literature and life, imagination and reality, the performance catapults the public into a dream-like, suspended dimension.
«Time is tied up and is immobilised in this convoluted text – affirms Sepe. Someone enters a home, someone returns, arrives from anywhere and and that anywhere is Sparta and their destinations are Argos or Thebes. […] Two sisters trapped in the “house of the dead” inhabited by dead persons, two sisters in two rooms facing west. A corridor and a staircase in case they need to leave into the twilight. One sister is invisible, she never appears […] the other greet all those who arrives, including the nuncio sent by her uncle. The arrival of the nuncio represents an epochal turning point – continues Sepe; an instant in which the world is suspended and left with the vain hope that what is not yet, will never be. The memory of felicitous moments of the past crystallised in the everyday gestures and in the prevision of an atrocious death which will brands them with the ever-lasting stigma.
The Neapolitan director Pierpaolo Sepe is always attentive to contemporary drama and in his continual search for new expressive languages, he gives us dramatic plots with strong underlying political and social messages, seen also in some of his previous performances: Anna Cappelli, Il Corsaro Nero, Le Cinque Rose di Jennifer.
