La valle dell'Eden
About this event
La valle dell’Eden (East of Heaven) (1952), a masterpiece written by Steinbeck in his mature age, is like a “world opera”: a modern revisiting of the Book of Genesi, with the shape of a monumental family saga of “a fall”, this hypnotic picture of conflicts between relatives and generations, that goes through
American History from the middle of 19th century to the first world war, is an extraordinary dissertation about modernity’s twilight, able to camouflage the dark and incommunicable background of individual and collective experiences.
Antonio Latella, after the great success of Santa Estasi and his peculiar
excursus of Pinocchio by Collodi, has taken the challenge to confront with the
multifaceted and slippery substance of Steinbeck’s romance in order to explore its universal themes, discovering a tight and problematic relationship with the time present, thanks to a cast of actors composed by emerging interpreters as well as established artists.
