Description
Automatically translated from Italian.
A Calabrian folk tale comes to life on the stage of the Teatro Comunale di Ceglie Messapica on February 10, starting at 9 pm. The plot tells of a young princess with a strong and independent character who rejects the suitors chosen by her father and decides to create her ideal spouse herself, kneading flour and sugar for six months and finally giving him speech with a red chili pepper. Directed by Dario De Luca, this tale is rooted in Calabrian tradition, traversing the great European fairy tale narratives. The performance is accompanied by the hypnotic sounds created by Gianfranco De Franco, who combines traditional instruments with electronic effects in an atmosphere suspended between dream and reality. The show is performed in the local language.
Original text in Italian
Una storia di fiaba popolare calabrese prende vita sul palco del Teatro Comunale di Ceglie Messapica il 10 febbraio a partire dalle 21.00. La trama racconta di una giovane principessa dal carattere forte e indipendente che rifiuta i pretendenti scelti dal padre e decide di creare da sola lo sposo ideale, impastando farina e zucchero per sei mesi, donandogli infine la parola grazie a un peperoncino rosso. La regia di Dario De Luca porta in scena questa fiaba che affonda le radici nella tradizione calabrese, attraversando le grandi narrazioni fiabesche europee. La performance è accompagnata dalle sonorità ipnotiche create da Gianfranco De Franco, che combina strumenti tradizionali ed effetti elettronici in un'atmosfera sospesa tra il sogno e la realtà. Lo spettacolo è in lingua locale.
