Sanghenapule - Roberto Saviano, Mimmo Borrelli

In a performance that weaves together storytelling and poetry, celebrating the Neapolitan language in all its baroque beauty, Mimmo Borrelli and Roberto Saviano aim straight for the heart of Naples, a city of blood and incandescent lava, exploring its mystery and contradiction. The actor and narrator traverse some milestones of Neapolitan history in a continuous osmosis between the celestial and the underground. Blood is the common thread of a show of words, lights, and sounds, with a splendid original soundtrack performed live. It is the blood that melts, renewing each year the pact between the saint and his people; it is the blood of the early Christian martyrs, but also of the "secular martyrs" of the Neapolitan Republic, which at the end of the eighteenth century attempted to oppose the democratic ideal to Bourbon oppression; it is the hemorrhage of emigration in the first decades of the twentieth century, when thousands upon thousands of Italians crossed the ocean in search of a better future; it is the blood shed under the bombs of World War II; it is, finally, that of the Camorra's ambushes. In a performance that intertwines storytelling with poetry, enhancing the Neapolitan language in all its baroque beauty, Mimmo Borrelli and Roberto Saviano focus on the heart of Naples, a city of blood and incandescent lava, revealing its mystery and contradiction.
