A piece of Medio Campidano took to the stage in Carloforte last night. At the Cine Teatro Cavallera on Via Diaz 4, as part of "Approdi," the Community Theater Festival, "Eterne De-rive" was performed, a Fita Sardegna production directed by Serena Guidoni of Villaputzu. A cast almost entirely from Medio Campidano brought to the island of San Pietro the stories and voices of a region where amateur theater has deep roots. Of the five performers, four are from this part of Sardinia: Beatrice Pisano of the Filodrammatica Guspinese, Martina Cruccu and Eleonora Piredda, respectively of Come.Te and the Piccolo Teatro Umoristico, both from San Gavino, and Fiorella Frau of the Teatro delle Gocce of Terralba. Completing the group is Chiara Perra of La Forgia of Muravera. Five companies, five distinct paths, one stage.

The show was created on the initiative of the regional committee of the Italian Federation of Theatre and Arts of Sardinia, led by President Angelo Lisci. After "Anime di Passaggio" and "I soli in una stanza," this year's show has again promoted two works, one in Sardinian and one in Italian, featuring actors and actresses from various companies registered with the Federation. "Eterne De-rive" is the Italian-language version, and its journey began on Saturday, July 4th, under the direction of Guidoni, supported by Davide Spano and Anna Carta. The chosen method is anything but predictable. The actresses first learned to get to know each other and become familiar with their emotions, voices, and bodies. The script came only later, at the end of a phase of experimentation, play, harmony, and even conflict. The result is a work that addresses profound and profound themes, born from the encounter between women who, while sharing the same passion, came from different backgrounds. The script was written by one of the performers, Martina Cruccu, who explains its origins: "Everything written reflects a profound interplay: the story we want to tell and everything that emerges during rehearsals, the identities of each character, the natural emotional upheaval of the characters, each maintaining their own identity in the search for their own artistic identity, entering the empty spaces of the others. It all led to the naturalness of the text and the acting, acting in truth."

A text, therefore, written starting from the work in the rehearsal room and the people who inhabit it. And it is precisely on the meeting of different sensibilities that the director focuses. "Bringing together actresses from different companies means engaging with different acting approaches and methods," explains Guidoni. "The direction must accommodate the different sensibilities and, at the same time, find uniformity within the project. The work previously done by each actress must represent a starting point, but then it is necessary to build something new together." The workshop served this purpose: "Each actress has her own acting and cultural identity, also tied to the way her company approaches theater. The workshop work served precisely to enhance the individual artistic identities and, at the same time, to find a common thread." The path, continues the director, was very special, because "from the first day the actresses, who for the most part had not had the opportunity to work together, were able to get closer, share experiences and build a relationship. Even though we had completely different personalities and backgrounds, this diversity wasn't perceived as a distance: a union was created, with a very specific common goal."

For the five actresses from different countries, all sharing the same passion for the stage, the moment has arrived: last night, the work born in the rehearsal room between July and October finally met the Carloforte audience. And for a festival called "Approdi," it was an opportunity to host a show that brings to the stage the voices of many communities, united by a single scene.
