On the stage between sky and sea, at sunset, an appointment with immortal classics and contemporary texts, sporting epics, auteur songs and tango rhythms in a magical intertwining between culture and nature: it is the extraordinary mix that will go on tonight scene for the "Night of the Poets" Festival organized by CeDAC / Multidisciplinary Circuit of Live Entertainment in Sardinia, chaired by Antonio Cabiddu , in the enchanting scenery of the Roman theater of Nora , among the ruins of the ancient Phoenician-Punic and later Roman city and in the nearby town of Pula .
Fifteen titles on the bill from 7 to 29 July , including shows, recitals and concerts, in addition to urban dance "incursions": among the protagonists artists of the caliber of Toni Servillo, Iaia Forte and Javier Girotto, Massimo Venturiello and Stefano Massini , the journalist and writer Concita De Gregorio and sports chronicler Federico Buffa , songwriters Alice and Franca Masu for a "special" edition on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the event.
Eight decades of great events that will be celebrated with a star billboard signed by the artistic director Valeria Ciabattoni .
And also many women on stage and behind the scenes: Serena Sinigaglia directs "Le Supplici" with an all-female cast - by Arianna Scommegna (Ubu Award 2014), Matilde Facheris, Mariangela Granelli, Maria Pilar Pérez Aspa, Arianna Scommegna , Giorgia Senesi, Sandra Zoccolan and Debora Zuin while Rossella Dassu reinvents the "Plots" of the myth, the actor and comedian Mario Zucca engages with "The secrets of the poets", intertwining words and notes for Elena Pau directed by Marco Parodi poems in blues for Lea Karen Gramsdorff, a dance “beyond the borders of solitude” with “Room 22” by Funa (winning show Danza Urbana XL 2022) and echoes of Japan in “Zatò e Ychì” by ASMED / Balletto di Sardegna.
"We wanted to dedicate the opening night to a dear friend, the director Marco Parodi, creator of the" Night of the Poets "- explains the patron Antonio Cabiddu - His almost pioneering idea at the beginning of the Eighties could have seemed a bit of a bet risky, but it worked great. His project was based on the belief that that fascinating millenary stone theater was the most suitable place to grasp the true essence of poetry, entrusted to great performers. The direct knowledge of many actors facilitated the task of proposing “monographic recitals”, unique and unrepeatable, designed specifically for that magical place. An opportunity for expressive freedom much appreciated by all artists - Cabiddu still remembers - which could not fail to involve and excite the public: one of the great artists who loved Nora a lot was Giorgio Albertazzi and among the monuments of Sardinian music two immortal women Maria Carta and Marisa Sannia ”.
THE PROGRAM - The Overture tonight, Thursday 7, at 20 in the sign of poetry in music with the "Words (In) sung", a project by La Fabbrica Illuminata with the artistic direction and direction of Marco Parodi: a concert with Elena Pau , voice, on the notes of the piano by Alessandro Nidi , where the texts by Dario Fo, Dacia Maraini, Alberto Moravia, Goffredo Parise, Roberto Roversi, Pier Paolo Pasolini and Ercole Patti intertwine with the music of Fiorenzo Carpi, Gino Marinuzzi, Gian Franco Maselli, Gino Negri, in a precious anthology of significant and pregnant songs of the twentieth century.
Tomorrow, again at 8pm, homage to Sergio Atzeni with “Two colors exist in the world. Green is the second "in the interpretation of actress Lea Karen Gramsdorff with a sound project by Simone Dulcis for an intriguing verse diary signed by the author of" Passavamo sulla terra light "and" The fifth step is goodbye ".
Great expectation on Saturday 9 July for a giant of Italian theater and cinema: Toni Servillo arrives to read Grazia Deledda : a journey through the lines of the Nuorese writer Nobel Prize for Literature in an original project designed for the festival, with a selection of short stories and poems.
