Erodiàs + Mater strangosciàs

Sandro Lombardi, unforgettable interpreter of the memorable sequence between 1996 and 1998 of the texts by Testori, Tre lai (Cleopatràs, Erodiàs, Mater strangosciàs) after having seen Anna Della Rosa in the staging of the first one, directed by Valter Malosti, entrusted her with the interpretation of the second and third of the Lai. Not a direction but a real gift, according to the tradition of eastern theatre tradition, in which the most experienced actor hands over to the youngest his interpretation.

A gift to the audience for a work that focuses on the second and third part of the three laments of love.

The Lai are Giovanni Testori’s last testament and the apex of the writer’s extraordinary creative season of the writer. These heroines straddle an epochal transition, contemporary and distant, re-emerge from death to tell their stories and weep over the body of the beloved and tell us all about the mystery par excellence, that of Love.
