Description
Automatically translated from Italian.
At the Carmelo Bene Theater in Campi Salentina, "James" is performed, a show written and directed by Licia Lanera that brings together four generations of actresses and one actor. During the rehearsals of a comedy on immortality, the performers confront universal themes such as fear, love, motherhood, and heritage. The staging includes symbolic figures: a theater god and two animal presences, a goat and an ox, which refer to the ritual origins of tragedy. Inspired by Tadeusz Kantor's reflections, the show deliberately confuses the stage with ordinary life, exploring the human need to leave a mark through art. The event is scheduled for 7 November 2026 at 8:45 pm.

Al teatro Carmelo Bene di Campi Salentina va in scena "James", uno spettacolo scritto e diretto da Licia Lanera che riunisce quattro generazioni di attrici e un attore. Durante le prove di una commedia sull'immortalità, i performer si confrontano con temi universali come la paura, l'amore, la maternità e l'eredità. La messa in scena include figure simboliche: un dio del teatro e due presenze animali, una capra e un bue, che rimandano alle origini rituali della tragedia. Lo spettacolo, ispirato alla riflessione di Tadeusz Kantor, confonde volontariamente la scena con la vita ordinaria, esplorando il bisogno umano di lasciare un'impronta attraverso l'arte. L'appuntamento è per il 7 novembre 2026, alle 20.45.
