(ANSA) – MILAN, 03 DEC – “We want to bring the Prima della Scala into society and this is a place of life”: Davide Livermore, who directs the Macbeth that will inaugurate the Scala season on December 7, talks about the prison in San Vittore where today he told the show to a group of inmates and where he would like to return on the morning of December 8th to talk to them again.
This is a tradition that resumes after last year’s stop due to Covid. Previously it was the then superintendent Alexander Pereira who entered the prison to tell the story of the opera that the inmates will then see live on Rai 1. San Vittore (as well as Opera and the Beccaria juvenile prison) are in fact some of the places in the city where the first broadcast will take place.
“This event somehow sees us restart – explained the director Giacinto Siciliano introducing Livermore – This is a work that has a particular meaning in prison”.
The director told the inmates the story of Macbeth devoured and destroyed by his own lust for power, in a terrifying series of murders reminiscent of “mafia” feuds and the way he represented her with a ‘graft’ of weapons ancient and modernity to underline how much the story is still current and regards the management of power, whether it is that of a kingdom, an office or a board of directors of a multinational that meets in a skyscraper.
The inmates asked questions, even provocative ones, and talked about the importance of theater for them, also asking if there was the possibility of setting up a theater workshop.
“I found them very attentive – then said Livermore who when he attended the Conservatory in Turin was an educator in the Ferrante Aporti juvenile prison collaborating with the Esserci cooperative – Public theater belongs to everyone. They are people who are part of our society, who you have to take care of everyone “. (HANDLE).
