La Zeza

It is the reconstruction made by Dora Liguori on canovaccio written between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, in which it is told of a Pulcinella (Vito Cesaro) who naively thinks he is making his will prevail over his wife Zeza (Claudio Lardo) and their daughter Zezella (Enrica Mari).

At first, Pulcinella appears defeated by the two women and, like a good philosopher, he will welcome the defeat with resignation, above all because he will soon be presented with the opportunity to make up for himself. To guide the events towards the resolution will be, once again, the common logic of vanquishing the eternal hunger that looms and that all, in perfect agreement, wish to avert.

The archetypes of the commedia dell'arte are resumed, based on the words and gestures of the actors who, as in the eighteenth century, had to be good actors and know how to enrich the text extemporaneously, so as to create every evening the miracle of a complete theatrical genius that would not have had more followers over time. The Pulcinella mask becomes a reference figure, in which anyone can identify, even partially: braggart, coward, hardly inclined to work, smart and, therefore, often rogue, he is in fact a free and proud man in and of his Neapolitan character .

Also on stage, Eduardo Di Lorenzo, Marco De Simone, Assunta Nigro and Christian Salicone.
