Fabrizio Gifuni reconnects the threads of memory. Moro and his letters, incandescent matter

An anti-biography of the Nation. Built over the years on the most uncomfortable pages. Through non-aligned figures. Authors who with their thinking are still able to offer new points of view on the country. This was the case with Carlo Emilio Gadda and Pier Paolo Pasolini, both approached by investigating public and private texts. But for some seasons Fabrizio Gifuni 's research has instead focused on Aldo Moro , studying the letters written during his imprisonment and the famous memorial. Complex material. From which the Roman actor has drawn " With your irridente silenzio ", from tonight in the Sala Grande at the Franco Parenti . "I wanted to do an experiment," Gifuni explained to Il Giorno some time ago, "to move this meteorite from another historical period and another dimension to the center of the stage. And try to share it with the bodies of the spectators, to understand if its matter is still incandescent. There is a passage in which Moro writes, addressing the outside world: if you decide my death sentence, you will sink into a swamp from which it will be very difficult to climb out. I believe that we often experience that sensation. Retying the threads of memory does not make the swamp any less ugly. It becomes more understandable." A collective ritual. With Gifuni accompanying. Repeats until Sunday. Diego Vincenti
