On stage in “The Inspector” at the Theatre, Gradoli and Farnese

FARNESE (Viterbo) – for ApritiTuscia review of the Null Theater financed by the Carivit Foundation and the participating municipalities, it returns on Saturday 30 July at 9.15 pm in Gradoli P.zza Palombini and again on Sunday 31 in the Amphitheater of Farnese . At 9.15, “The Unexpected Inspector” by Gianni Abate da Gogol. It is a brutal satire, an act of scathing condemnation of public corruption. “I set Gogol’s work” – says Abate – “in an unknown town in northern Italy in the early 2000s, populated by corrupt characters, bookmakers and smugglers. The story unfolds as a comedy of misunderstanding, with The viewer can observe two levels of action, without the knowledge of each other, with the inevitable fun until the turning point obvious to all. We come to the plot. The news of the arrival of an official of the state administration in the northern city made the mayor and exposed the fear of the public, who were accustomed to poor governance and robberies even inside the hospital, for contempt of punishment and infringing correspondence. In an effort to provide a moral and honest image of his conduct, he Established a system of security and support, including financial ones, for a young man staying at the city’s starred hotel, whom they believe is a feared overseer. To whom the mayor will also give his daughter’s hand. Poor, partly disoriented and partly Accepts, apparently out of opportunism, loans that the authorities give him with the intention of obtaining his altruism And also for blackmailing him. The young cheater overpowers the corrupt ruling class, realizing that he cannot grab any more, thus betraying the traitors. The final turn, the arrival of the real Inspector General who will give the final blow to the gang of dishonest”. In Abate’s rewriting, Gogol’s satirical gaze is expressed in an even more parody vision, where caricatured characters, with a distinctive Northern accent, circle around this false inspector with colorful dialect in Roman dialect. The story should be dramatic, but it definitely turns out to be comical. Participants: Gianni Abbett, Ennio Cuccini, Alessandra Cappuccini, Gabriele Ludovici and Simonetta Scosze, lighting technician Tommaso Abbett, directed by Gianni Abbett.
