Pirandello, Leopardi, Tolstoj: readings
Educational module for secondary schools 21 February – 12 March 2019
For students in the three-year cycle of Senior Secondary School.
The show/lesson is a delightful combination of in-depth learning and fun where the actors are also connoisseurs of the subject they recount and recite for the audience. Theatre is therefore a means par excellence to attract the attention and imagination of listeners.
Luigi Pirandello: masks and madness
- Thursday 21 February 2019 at 10:00
Readings from L 'Umorismo - La Patente - Il fu Mattia Pascal. The pieces allow us to better understand the stories that Pirandello writes in his novels and theatrical texts, staging drama of an "I" deprived of its own identity and forced to assume the "mask" that others project on it.
The new views of Giacomo Leopardi
- Thursday 28 February 2019 at 10:00
Readings from L’Infinito, A Silvia, La quiete dopo la tempesta, Il sabato del villaggio, Canto notturno di un pastore vagante dell’Asia, Il tramonto della luna. We investigate Leopardi through readings and reflections, going beyond the pessimistic rhetorical definitions of his work, rediscovering his youth and the vigour of his thought and work, passing through the hardships of adolescence and his relationship with
adults.
Tolstoy, War and Peace
- Tuesday 12 March 2019 at 10:00
Tolstoy gave history a great fresco of world literature, War and Peace (1865-
1869); a masterpiece that allows a broader reflection on contemporary history and the human being. Following the path of Prince Andrei, we will reflect on the two polarities that have conditioned the history of humanity: the state of war and that of peace.
