Cagliari, the theater of Valentina Esposito on stage at TsE
The Cedac review proposes the pièce "Non-human destination" for the billboard "The third eye"
A reflection on the fragility of human nature and the precariousness of existence, on the whims of fate and on the certainty of a predestination, in the face of individual responsibilities and personal choices dictated by free will with "Non-human destination", an original pièce with dramaturgy and directed by Valentina Esposito, full of pathos and poetry that will be staged tonight, Tuesday 21 March, at 8.30 pm at the Teatro TsE in Cagliari for Il Terzo Occhio, a transversal review of new creativity under the banner of the 2022-2023 Season of La Grande Prose organized by the CeDAC/Multidisciplinary Performing Arts Circuit in Sardinia chaired by Antonio Cabiddu.
In the spotlight, Fabio Albanese, Alessandro Bernardini, Matteo Cateni, Chiara Cavalieri, Christian Cavorso, Viola Centi, Massimiliano De Rossi, Massimo Di Stefano, Michele Fantilli, Emma Grossi, Gabriella Indolfi, Giulio Maroncelli, Piero Piccinin, Giancarlo Porcacchia, Fabio Rizzuto and Edoardo Timmi for a Fort Apache Cinema Teatro production commissioned by the artistic director Valeria Ciabattoni.
The performers lend body and voice to the singular "human beasts" of a dystopian tale, centered on "seven racehorses, all brothers" gathered in a sort of no man's land, or stable-prison, waiting for the end.
An imaginative and cruel story in which the fate of these creatures becomes a metaphor for the tragic nature of the human condition, in the contrast between the more docile and useful animals, already condemned from the start to become cannon fodder and the more precious and privileged specimens, at least in appearance , capable of distinguishing themselves and triumphing in the race, of winning the applause of the public with their dizzying performances, but whose prize, or punishment, will once again be death.
The pièce written and directed by Valentina Esposito, who also designed the sets, created by Edoardo Timmi, with make-up and costumes by Mari Caselli assisted by the assistant costume designer Costanza Solaro Del Borgo, music by Luca Novelli, lighting design by Alessio Pascale, sound engineer Luigi Di Martino and stage photographer Jo Fenz, represents the slow and almost ritual consummation of an agony, in a microcosm where the old age of the horses in the terminal phase of their journey is symbolically opposed to the splendor of youth, as in a sort of flashbacks, as the protagonists think back to the crucial moments of their lives.
A setting out of time, in an interior landscape, almost a space of myth, where some female figures also appear, i.e. three mares-mares next to a little girl, personification of purity and innocence in that place marked by suffering and anguish, from resignation in front of the impossibility of an escape, with justified fears for the future, but also from a deep desire for love.
