La Coscienza di Zeno - Alessandro Haber

Masterpiece of 20th-century literature, a precursor novel with a powerfully European scope, ironic and of fascinating complexity, "Zeno's Conscience" celebrates 100 years since its publication in 2023. The Teatro Stabile del Friuli Venezia Giulia brings it to the stage under Paolo Valerio's direction in a new production - created in collaboration with Goldenart Production - as part of a rich research path dedicated to the immensely important cultural treasures of Trieste and its region. The monumental figure of Italo Svevo and his extraordinary psychoanalytic novel represent a moment of profound, universal significance. "Zeno's Conscience," moreover, has its own vibrant theatricality, stemming from its innovative writing style and being dominated by the engaging, complex, and very contemporary figure of Zeno Cosini. The novel, in fact, arises from the notes of the protagonist, who undergoes treatment by psychoanalyst Dr. S, seeking through this means to solve his malaise, neurosis, and inability to feel "in tune" with the world and reality. His perception of himself as inept and sick, and his stubborn - yet never entirely convinced - attempts to change and heal, lead Zeno to navigate life surprisingly intertwining bourgeois daily life with surreal episodes rich in humor and truth, and to insights that possess a force that still shakes us today.
