“THE DREAM OF RIDICOLOUS MAN” by Fyodor Dostoevsky, with Gabriele Lavia.
A man, derided by all and always a stranger to society, is determined to commit suicide. He sits down in the armchair next to the desk, opens the drawer and takes out the pistol. But, suddenly, he falls asleep and begins to dream of his life beyond death, in a planet similar to the Earth, inhabited by splendid beings not yet corrupted “from the first fall, from the first sin”. Gabriele Lavia, icon of Italian theatre, brings to the stage a deep and passionate reflection on the condition of the human being and on a world that has condemned itself to suffering, self-imprisoned, locked in and forced into a metaphorical straitjacket, an the impediment to all good action. “I chose to stage this show to forcefully reaffirm how indifference, corruption and degeneration cannot be the living conditions of our society”.
A show by Effimera Teatro Produzioni, translation and adaptation by Gabriele Lavia, directed by Gabriele Lavia.
