Event #24
Gianfranco Capitta, Rafael Spregelburd
Seven sins that make life possible
R. Spregelburd is a prominent personality of the new Argentinian wave that is restoring the country to its role in the world of culture after the dark years of the dictatorship and the economic crisis. He is an actor, stage director and playwright who uses theater with absolute freedom of invention, ignoring all limits of morals, space or time. His creativity brings a fruitful disorder to politics, society and cultural hierarchies. In Spregelburd’s work, people’s daily relationships provide insights on the paradoxes and utopias that will mark the third millennium. His most successful texts are collected in a book called Eptalogia di Hieronymus Bosch and are being staged by L. Ronconi in Italy. Among them are those on the seven capital sins, not the canonical ones but their updated versions: anorexia, extravagance, modesty, stupidity, panic, paranoia, stubbornness (duration: approx. 2 hours).
is a visual arts critic and writes for il manifesto daily. He has written essays about his favorite stage personalities, in particular Harold Pinter. He is keen on making theater known through the radio and tv. He has written the four parts of the tv
series Atto unico on the newer generation of Italian playwrights. He has also designed a number of festivals, such as the Orestiadi, staged in Gibellina, Sicily, from 1999 to 2004, and was responsible for the project of the National Drama Festival of Naples (2007). His books include Interpretazione e creatività, written with stage and screen actor Toni Servillo and published by Laterza in 2008 in their ‘Festival della Mente’ series.
