SYNOPSIS

In unraveling the red thread of History, Angelina plays the role of collective Memory, narrating the exploits of the rebels; the men fighting for land and survival will act as spokesmen for other characters (Baron Berlingeri, Francesco Nigro, Giovanni Zito, the carabiniere) building a dialectic rich in contrasts and opinions. Turning a recent fact into a contemporary myth by recounting the social injustices and involuntary sacrifice of the three free peasants acts on the story like a Greek tragedy.

Narrating values such as freedom, struggle, rebellion and vindication in a romantic and fictional form gives us the opportunity to explore the themes of class disparities, private property, pride in one's work and, above all, the ethics of a community.

Fragalà is a prose performance that uses live music, dancing and singing in a naturalistic narrative. The group worked on written artifacts and oral sources in collaboration with Antonio Di Castri. After this bibliographic research, work was done based on analogies and actual facts, but mostly on historical documents. Metaphoring modern stories with archetypal stories; transforming rural characters into epic heroes are the distinguishing features of the group's work.

On stage there are 3 performers in dialogue with live music: 1 musician; 1 actor; 1 actress.
The three, by means of interweaving, stories, actions, dances, readings and metaphors, will recount the events of Fragalà, a feudal outpost of the Italian peasant reforms of '56.
