On Friday, November 28, the show by Paolo Cevoli in "Figli di Troia" will take place at the Teatro Comunale Dino Buzzati.
In this new monologue, Paolo Cevoli ironically and contemporarily narrates the legendary journey of Aeneas, comparing it to other journeys that have marked the history of humanity. From Christopher Columbus to Little Red Riding Hood, from the Viking prince Ragnar to his father Luciano who emigrated to Australia in the 1950s.
Aeneas, the defeated hero, flees the burning Troy with his deities in his pocket, his father on his shoulders, and his little son by the hand: his roots and the hope for a better future. After a thousand hardships, he arrives at the mouth of the Tiber where he finds a sow nursing – a prophetic sign for the place to settle – and while the women prepare some flatbreads, the Trojan exiles sacrifice the sow and her piglets. The epic journey of the founder of Rome concludes with a picnic featuring porchetta sandwiches.
This and many other episodes from the Virgilian poem are at the heart of Paolo Cevoli's tale, rediscovering the values and roots of the Italian people. Just as Virgil did, who wrote the Aeneid to give a noble lineage to the ancient Romans, our ancestors. He thought: rather than being the children of no one, it is better to be the children of Troy.
