curtain fell and the lights out: this is usually the time when, after a sigh of relief, reckoning, you make the first tentative intentions and plans for the future - which for us, since we are in Sicily and not to disprove anything, takes the form of an eternal present and expanded not only in grammar but also and especially when you try to plan activities with a minimum of perseverance and perspective .
But first we would like ritual duties thanks to indulge in a little reflection on the concept of "participation" , and we do provide us with the idea that two letters from our viewers; giuntaci a few days before the festival, the 'other a couple of days after closing.
The first of two letters entered subito nel vivo di quella che senza dubbio è stata la novità più tangibile dell'edizione 2008 di Teatri in Città , ovvero l'introduzione di un biglietto d'ingresso (€5 per singolo evento, €15 l'abbonamento per cinque serate):
"Per la prima volta ho scoperto la serie di spettacoli proposti da questa associazione culturale un anno fa, agosto 2007. Casualmente mi è giunta voce di questi eventi culturali, ne sono rimasto colpito ed entusiasta per l'intraprendenza dell'organizzazione e la professionalità dei partecipanti.
Il tutto coronato da un sacro principio, ossia quello di permettere al popolo to be able to enjoy the cultural production of their land in the most free as possible.
With great surprise and regret I have noticed that this year it will not, this does not prevent me from participating in events that I waited for a year but may reduce incentives for many of the already low percentage of the audience's past to present. I wonder why there was this jump but obviously the answer is pretty obvious.
My irritation to see that a price has been fixed to the shows, for a moment made me give up but I believe strongly in your initiative and will support it anyway. "
Without riproporvi for the entire collection of letters (the most curiosi possono comunque trovare qui ) vorremmo ribadire che il piccolo "sacrificio" richiesto al pubblico di Teatri in Città è stata sì una necessità dettata dalla quasi totale assenza di contributi economici istituzionali, ma anche e soprattutto la richiesta di una scelta consapevole di sostegno e partecipazione che comprende il rispetto verso il lavoro degli artisti e degli organizzatori, il valore personale che si attribuisce al coltivare i propri interessi ed alla possibilità di fruirne nel migliore dei modi, e molto altro ancora.
Avendo ben presente lo stato pressoché vegetativo in cui versano gli enti pubblici in Sicilia (ma anche nel resto della nazione) dal punto di vista delle finanze, possiamo realisticamente prevedere che Teatri in Città difficilmente tornerà mai più ad essere una manifestazione ad ingresso gratuito; possiamo però adoperarci, e cercheremo in tutti i modi di farlo, insieme ad enti pubblici, istituzioni e sponsor, affinché il contributo richiesto al pubblico rientri sempre nei limiti del "giusto", per consentire a quante più persone lo desiderino di partecipare degnamente al festival.
E questo ci conduce direttamente alla seconda lettera:
"Ieri sera ho partecipato allo spettacolo “Desideranza” messo in scena Villa Patti Caltagirone.
not accidentally use the word "part" because the involvement of the representation given me requires a password which gives you a sense of focus and attend this. If I were an expert in the theater I could give this suggestion to the perfect balance of intense narrative rhythm, impeccable synthesis of expressive acting, the completeness of the text, the ability to dynamically fill the stage space, the fascination of the play of light.
However, if I were an expert in theater, if I knew furnish and motivate these and other technical reasons, none of them would know to account for the emotion that 'wanting to "give me: the agonizing feeling of the decision to break ties obsessive yet reassuring that in an increasingly growing and complex feeling, becomes an epic act of supreme freedom.
not an accomplice-bankruptcy waiver of the extraordinarily effective lighting arrangement seemed to be the flight-Pino and Sergio soprasopra the window of the room, but the choice of brave and cut the reciprocity of a deadly addiction. It is not passively waiting for an external event, but look for the absolute zenith, the will to make the bold gesture to the passage of the saint.
But are not those of Sergio Pino, the daring and epic ethereal Greek heroes, but firmness and boldness, the interior force, the fierce determination that only brotherly love can be drawn from the mutual basis.
For all these sensations and the other for which I can not find the words: thank you! "
Words like these can magically to" close the circle ", to give a deeper meaning to the work that we have chosen and that choose, daily and stubbornly, to continue, and in this eternal present of stubbornness and battles, they make us feel less alone.
Thanks, then, the friend who loved so much Wishing , and all others who have tested - for that or for other shows - the same emotions, thanks to all the public for following each performance, despite their legitimate differences of degree, with immense respect, attention and curiosity.
Thanks to Silvia, Daniel and Roberta, the volunteers who have assisted in the logistics of the festival: young girls who were participating for the first time from "within" a cultural event for which we hope to have opened small new horizons in view of their interests.
Thanks to Paul, David, Simon, Mark, Melissa, Vincent, Anna, Adriana and Salvo: the guys Gesticulating that have remained with us until the end and, hopefully, we remain close to other firms ( our own and each other). Thanks to the artists
, as always, to estimate that confirm us in accepting our hospitality to the limit of conditions that are often "symbolic".
Thanks to the Municipality of Caltagirone (in the person of Vice-Mayor Alex Foti, we've seen singing and clapping in the front row with I Bedd ...) and the sponsor of Theatres in City 2008, for having supported anyway.
Thanks to the staff of Villa Patti for availability and day care, with Robert Joy for the management of "any other business", and Billy the dog , gourmet cheese and a great admirer of fresh ...
The blog remains open as usual for us and for you, comments, stories, incentives and prods.
