To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the death of Shakespeare, Napoli Teatro Festival Italia pays homage to one of the Bard’s most representative works, The Tempest. This performance also a tribute to another great playwright, Eduardo De Filippo who in 1983 – just one year before his death – translated this great comedy into Neapolitan dialect.
La Tempesta – Omaggio a Eduardo brings to the stage a series of excerpts from De Filippo’s text, recited by Michele Placido. A remarkable debut also for the venue, the Juvenile Penitentiary Institute of Nisida, and the collaboration of the young offenders who participated in the theatrical writing workshop. This experience with De Filippo’s work in the Nisida institute was a great success, as seen from the participation in the project more commonly known as “Legge Eduardo” (Law Eduardo), aimed at supporting adolescents at risk of emargination and delinquency.
