By giving testimony to the family of the Princes of Sansevero, the narrator brings to light the true story of the origins of the Chapel of the same name. Through music and dance, the protagonists are both accomplices and victims of one of the most merciless assassinations that Naples has ever seen. After finding his wife Maria d’Avalos and her lover Fabrizio Carafa in flagrante delicto, the cuckold Gesualdo da Venosa murders both. It is now for Adriana Carafa to reconquer the honour and dignity of the memory of her son Fabrizio.
«A performance – writes the director – in which the temporal and spatial planes are without borders; the plot is made of fleeting images, and omnipresent characters who observe, scrutinize, and listen in on what is happening. They dialogue with the present as both life and death, and the past and the present are easily obfuscated to become one and the same».
