Se son fiori moriranno is the first act of the “Dittico del sabotaggio” by author and director Rosario Palazzolo. “Sabotaging reality with imagination is the only alternative we have, the only one that lets us push the edge of the precipice further away, continually redrawing the landscape, building improbable imaginary worlds with a Manichaean resolve that manages to transfigure the truth.
Imagination is a godsend, a curse, a device and a trap; it is what we cannot part with, what we defend with our very lives, throwing onto the table even what we do not have, as long as it slows the inexorability of events, exposing us to an unbearable agony that we learn to bear.
On stage, a mother and a daughter, a fifteen-year-long agony, a barred room, a pain that beats against the walls, that rebounds off the bodies, that stretches and widens continuously, that contracts, that tries to change the face of the face, the mood of the mood, turning itself into an alternative, the best of all, indeed the only one possible. The audience is a silent supporting player, watching and judging, deciding, and who at a certain point will hold the sharpest responsibility of all: to catch the characters and carry them elsewhere, even if only into their own lives.”
Free admission while seats last.

On Monday 4 May in the morning, a repeat performance will be held for the secondary schools (upper level) of Cefalù.

The series is organized by the association Circo dell’avvenire, with artistic direction by Tiziana Giordano, and is held under the patronage of the Comune di Cefalù.
