Els deu manaments

At the hand of Viviani, one of the most important actors and writers in Sicilian theatre in the first half of the 20th century, Marthaler takes us on a journey through post-war Naples, where we walk streets inhabited by men and women with the most picturesque past, a past that, in reality, differs little from our own present. Like a modern commedia dell’arte, Viviani produces a lucid, comic portrait of ordinary characters pragmatically struggling in a changing world. Marthaler, who caused a sensation at Grec 96 with Apallissa l’europeu!... takes a distant yet nostalgic look at this Naples of the past that refuses to go away.
