This is how Tat\u2019jana Kasatkina, director of the research centre \u201cDostoevskij e la Cultura<br \/>\nMondiale\u201d (Dostoevskij and World Culture) at the Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy<br \/>\nof Sciences, describes the play \u201cThe dream of a ridiculous man\u201d staged at the Rimini Meeting with Mario<br \/>\nSala and directed by Lorenzo Loris of the Teatro Out Off in Milan. After the play, some students from Moscow<br \/>\nand Modena that had worked on the text in the last months expressed their comments and considerations.<br \/>\nThe anonymous protagonist of Dostoevskij's monologue, published in 1877 in his magazine \"A Writer\u2019s Diary\",<br \/>\nis an ordinary man, nauseated by his inconsistency and the mockery of others (he is, in fact, \"ridiculous\"),<br \/>\nto whom something extraordinary happens, which stops him at the edge of the abyss and saves him.<br \/>\nIn this play, some analogies with Dante\u2019s Divine Comedy could be drawn. It begins when his decision to<br \/>\ncommit suicide, a decision, paradoxically, that is made by looking at \"a little star\", the only one sparkling in<br \/>\na night \"that could not be darker\" (Dante\u2019s \"shadowed forest\"?). But then a little girl pulls him by the elbow<br \/>\nand cries for help because her mother is dying. He shoos her away and goes home to shoot himself in the<br \/>\nhead. But that encounter has marked him, it has made him feel wonder; Kasatkina says that \"he has broken<br \/>\nthe boundaries of the isolation of a heart of stone\".<br \/>\nOnce he gets in his miserable flat, he sits down and takes the revolver out, with which he would have shot<br \/>\nhimself \u201cif it hadn\u2019t been for that girl\u201d (Is she another Beatrice under a new name?).<br \/>\nHe does not do it, however, because he has to solve a dilemma first: if he had done an ignominious deed on<br \/>\nMars and then returned to Earth, would he or would he not have felt shame for what he had done? While<br \/>\nreflecting, he, who never slept at night, falls asleep until dawn (Dante was also full of sleep at the beginning<br \/>\nof the Comedy) and has a dream. He dreams that he is shooting himself, but not in the head: in the heart,<br \/>\n\"because dreams,\" he says, \"proceed not from reason but from desire, not from the head but from the<br \/>\nheart and that dream on November 3rd showed me the truth, it gave me a new great and strong life\u201d. He<br \/>\ndreams that after his suicide, a mysterious being (a new Virgil?) pulls him out of the tomb and takes him on<br \/>\na fantastic journey (and a \"fantastic tale\", Kasatkina recalled, \"for Dostoevsky is always extremely real\").<br \/>\nThis \"dark and unknown being\" takes him for a flight, making him burn millennia and sidereal spaces (isn\u2019t<br \/>\nit true that Dante flies to Heaven?) and promising him, with \"a certain sadness in his words\", that he would<br \/>\nhave seen everything.<br \/>\nThe planet on which they land is a kind of primordial earth, an Eden, \"another land as delightful as heaven\",<br \/>\nwhere everything is perfect and innocent, where people live without any fault and don\u2019t desire anything<br \/>\nanymore because they have \"a life already full; and they were beautiful, beautiful, beautiful\". Those beings<br \/>\n\"had no temples or churches, not even a faith\", but the \" firm knowledge that when their earthly joy was<br \/>\nfulfilled to the limits of earthly nature, there would then come for them, both for the living and for the<br \/>\ndead, a still greater expansion of their contact with the Entirety of the universe. They lived in a kind of total,<br \/>\nmutual, general love.\u201d But suddenly, everything changes: that Eden is corrupted, men become evil, there is<br \/>\nno longer harmony either among themselves or with nature. That Eden is transformed in today's world, it<br \/>\ngets sick. Why? Whose fault is it? \"It was I who perverted them all. How it could happen I don't know, but I<br \/>\nremember it clearly. Like an atom of plague, I infected that whole land with myself.\" Through him, sin had<br \/>\nreturned to the world. It returned through him and that seemingly insignificant act of rejection of that crying<br \/>\ngirl.<br \/>\nIn the dream, in that extraordinary compression of time and space, the protagonist saw the consequences<br \/>\nof his actions. \"What we do is not lost,\" comments Kasatkina, \"but it is the cause of the world's appearance.\u201d<br \/>\nThe ridiculous man, at this point, awakens, with still in his ears the mockery and derision of those distorted<br \/>\nmen, who would have wanted to put him in a mental institution, because he and his remorse and his vow<br \/>\nof atonement were becoming dangerous for them. He woke up and decided that his existence would be life<br \/>\nand preaching, preaching of what he had dreamed of, \"because I saw the truth with my own eyes, I saw its<br \/>\nglory.\u201d They will tell him that he had dreamed, but he will narrate the \"dream\", because \"the fantastic is supremely<br \/>\nreal\". In the dream, he discovered the keystone of everything, the one that could bring heaven<br \/>\nback on earth: \"Love others as yourself, that's what is essential, and that's all, nothing more is needed. It is<br \/>\nan old truth, repeated and read a million times, and yet it did not take root\" (like Dante\u2019s \"Love that moves<br \/>\nthe sun and the other stars\").<br \/>\nIn the last line, the moment from which everything started reappears: that little girl. \"I found her again and<br \/>\nthat's why I\u2019ll go, I\u2019ll go.\"<br \/>\n\"Dostoyevsky's story,\" explains Kasatkina, \"is a story about the illness of contemporary man: isolation, the<br \/>\nseparation of the individual from others and the world. And the most evident symptom is the absence of<br \/>\nthe capacity to wonder: everything is the same, everything is indifferent, everything is on the same level.<br \/>\nBut the writer also indicates a possible cure: to return to wonder and \"wonder\", in Russian, means to enter<br \/>\ninto the divine, into that divine which palpitates in everything we have before us and which unites us with<br \/>\nall living beings. Marvel breaks the isolation and binds men to the level of their deepest core, of their<br \/>\nheart\".<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n[Quotes edited by
