Descrizione
Nino, at the center of a now empty scene, surrounded by his puppets, seemed to have surrendered and wanted to give up his weapons. This is precisely the key phrase of the whole story of the Opra dei Pupi. The possibility of giving up in front of the void, which is not only represented by the empty chair of Nino’s theater. The crisis turns into opportunity. The creativity of the moving spirit. Perhaps it is precisely this emptiness that the author draws on to construct the story of Angelica’s escape. After all, Angelica escapes from the Opra dei pupi to meet modernity; modernity that will convince her to return to the original values of the Opera dei Pupi. Will Orlando find Angelica in the work of the puppets? Where did Angelica go? Why is it no longer among the puppets of the theater? What are the puppets doing in the city markets? Endless races and battles fill the pages of Gabriele Genova’s colorful and fantastic journey, accompanied by the rhythmic and romantic pen of Eliana Messineo. In a moment of extreme crisis (word abused in times of virus) The work of the puppets of Antonio Pasqualino published by Sellerio has helped us to know better the “technicalities” of this noble and popular art.
