Interpreters: young Nigerian women resident in Parma.
To conduct the theatrical laboratory, which provides four outcomes open to the public in April 2019, It will be Adriano Engelbrecht, Storio interpreter of Lenz productions, which thus defines the project:
“The tragic word and the narration of a tragic memory – of a historical fact, moreover, happened in our city – common cultural heritage are made. Words that belong to our history. To the history of man. It is not just the story of Bruno Longhi – Key figure of the anti -fascist resistance movement in Parma, tortured and assassinated by the SS whose body has never been found. It is also the story of a pain never dormant, generated by a brutal separation and powered by a failure and disregarded reunification. The idea of entrusting these words to a female often torn and separated by the dearest and most close affections, returns the color of a language that no longer leads back to a geographical origin, but the language of the sisters speaks, of mothers, of the young daughters. In a saline scene, bianca, The perpetual and incessant act of the burial frustrated by the absence of the body is consumed. This act is identified in the cruel ritual of useless work – often senseless, humiliating, carried out without the equipment, The necessary clothing and nourishment - in the German concentration and extermination camps. Like an hourglass that marks a precise time in a limited space, The uninterrupted construction action of a pile/mountain of salt while another and vice versa demolishes, And then again, And then again, defines the time of the story and the return of the memory around the absent and private bodies of worthy burial. Tragic memory. "
The project will be sponsored byDepartment of participation and rights of citizens of the Municipality of Parma.
