Rimini, August 24th 2015 \u2013 The performance of \u201cThe tidings brought to Mary\u201d is an event inside the kermesse in Rimini. It will take place tonight at 9.45 p.m. in Arena Frecciarossa 1000 D3. The play was produced by Scena Aperta Altomilanese Teatri-deSidera Teatro&territorio in collaboration with Teatro degli Incamminati and directed by Paolo Bignamini, who guided the team of excellent actors composed by Matteo Bonanni, Alessandro Conte, Federica D\u2019Angelo, Ksenija Martinovic, Paola Roman\u00f2, Antonio Rosti.
\nThe crammed hall heard with partecipation the drama on the play. Adriano Celentano\u2019s song \u201cSi \u00e8 spento il sole\u201d introduced the theme of love, fil rouge of the opera, and brought back to nowadays the \u201cmystery\u201d of Claudel.
\nThe story is set in France, during Middle Ages. It weaves together the stories of Anna Vercors, the wise and old farmer, the root whence the entire drama flourishes, his daughter Violaine, beautiful and engaged with Jacques, a farmer who is not able to go beyond his idea of justice, as the eldest son in prodigal son\u2019s parable, the story of Mara, the other daughter, who\u2019s less beauty reveals her dark and envious soul and is not clear if her envy originates not for having received love or not having accepted receiving love. Pierre of Craon is the main character, he is a sinner who builds cathedrals, a genius who guards hope, with and for the community.
\nSet design is essential. On the stage there are four containers with fluorescent lines, like sheaves of wheat moved by summer wind, differently set in various scenes. They delicately stress a drama that essentially is word, with sober actions, almost liturgical. Actor\u2019s voices is the medium that comprehends audience\u2019s heart and allows entering drama\u2019s essence. A scenic action of huge poetic substance, that asks together characters and spectators to face his destiny, to decide, as Virgin Mary with her \u201cfiat\u201d, whence the opera is titled.
\nCharacters face the drama of their liberty. Anna Vercors is aware of his responsibility for his and others happiness and watching the decline of his community decides to leave to Jerusalem. Does his departure indulge his project or Somebody Else\u2019s project? His wife Beth, even if doesn\u2019t understand everything, decides to indulge her project. Violaine, the beautiful daughter engaged to Jaques, in a tenderness impetus and being conscious like her father of family\u2019s situation and the historical moment, kisses Pierre of Craon, who is asked thought his work community\u2019s hope. In this way she contracts leprosy and she doesn\u2019t merry. She is the only character of the drama that doesn\u2019t realize her project. Mara substitutes her on Jacques\u2019 side, realizing her idea of marriage. <\/p>\n
Destinies are tight each other, as the conclusion of the opera clarifies. Coming back from the pilgrimage in Jerusalem, Anna understands life\u2019s truth: \u201cHoliness is not being lapidated abroad, or kissing a leper, but making God\u2019s will, with readiness, si tratti di restare al nostro posto o di salire pi\u00f9 in alto\u201d. Violaine did it, taking on herself her sister pain. Her sister doesn\u2019t love her and Violaine allows the resurrection of Jacques\u2019s daughter, her betrothed. Violaine appears as the only one who lives in the very deep of her heart the mystery of mercy, as a quote from Giussani describes: \u201cThe mystery of mercy breaks down every human image of tranquility or desperation; also the feeling of forgiveness is inside Christ\u2019s mystery. Mystery as mercy is the last word also on all bad possibilities of history\u201d.
