He is one of the great Italian actors, a very long career studded with successes and awards: Remo Girone returns to the island after last year's participation in the Filming Italy Sardegna Festival .

The actor is the protagonist of a journey through the history of the twentieth century with “The Nazi hunter, the adventurous life of Simon Wiesenthal ”, dramaturgy and direction by Giorgio Gallione , one of the top titles of the bill signed by the artistic director Valeria Ciabattoni.

Theater and cinema interpreter, directed on stage by artists such as Enrico D'Amato, Luca Ronconi, Orazio Costa, Mauro Avogadro, Andrée Ruth Shammah and by Peter Stein in a memorable "Uncle Vanja" awarded in Edinburgh, and on the big screen by Miklós Jancsó and Marco Bellocchio, Ettore Scola, Cinzia TH Torrini and Peter Greenaway, who appeared in numerous television series and dramas, from the success in "La Piovra" in the role of Tano Cariddi to the recent "Vostro Onore", Remo Girone, born in Asmara, in Eritrea, then moved to Italy to complete his university studies, but instead graduated from the "Silvio d'Amico" National Academy of Dramatic Art, lends voice and face to the "James Bond Jew" , an architect victim of anti-Semitic persecution who, having survived to deportation and the horror of the concentration camps, he dedicated his life to the identification and condemnation of the Nazis, guilty of heinous crimes against humanity.

The pièce, inspired by the books and memoirs of Simon Wiesenthal , will debut tonight, Tuesday 31 January, at 9 pm in the regional premiere at the Teatro Comunale of Sassari, while from tomorrow until 5 February, every day at 8.30 pm and Sundays at 7 pm, will be staged at the Teatro Massimo in Cagliari for the Season of La Grande Prosa organized by the CeDAC / Multidisciplinary Circuit of Live Performance in Sardinia.

The text questions not only the ferocious banality of evil but also its genesis to tell the tragedy of the Holocaust through the testimony of one of the victims : a modern epic transfigured into a civil theater show to combat removal and oblivion.

In "The Nazi hunter / The adventurous life of Simon Wiesenthal", the curtain opens on the protagonist, on his last day of work in the Jewish Documentation Center he founded, surrounded by the archive that preserves the results of a long-lasting commitment almost sixty years, during which the architect became a writer, delivering books and memoirs of a titanic, but also necessary, undertaking to keep the torch of truth burning.

An indisputable reality that the liberators themselves deemed appropriate to photograph and film, finding themselves before their eyes a terrible spectacle, beyond any imagination, certain that if they had tried to describe it no one would have believed them: a dystopia become concrete in which every principle was denied of humanity.

Thursday 2 at 17.30, in the foyer of the Massimo theater, Remo Girone, interviewed by Marco Zurru, will be a guest of the review "Beyond the Scene / meeting with artists" for a reflection, with the public, on the show and on the relationship between theater and society .
