"It 's nice to live free." An innovative way to pass on the memory



from an article by Carlo Brunetti on Sunday www.orvietonews.it

31gennaio has staged the show at the Sala del Carmine "It 's nice to live free," inspired by Ondina Peteani ( 1925 - 2003), considered by historians "The First Partisan Relay."

Concept, dramaturgy, direction and interpretation are Cuscunà Marta, a young actress and author trained at the European School of the Art of the Actor, Prima del Teatro, San Miniato, assisted with lighting and audio from Marco Rogante.
The audience was almost mesmerized for over an hour on the intensity and skill with which Martin told the youth of Cuscunà Peteani Ondina. Intersected by a monologue puppetry, where the artist seems to never be alone so much as qualified to give voice to characters and thickness but distinct from the major protagonist in the interweaving of the story. "The puppetry - says Marta Cuscunà - to rediscover the form of popular theater that they were using in the partisans who were writing dramatic sketches and interpreted to celebrate victories."

The story, set in Monfalcone, Trieste and Karst, portrays the young Ondina, working in the shipyards of Monfalcone, that a reading "of romance novels in the library fascist ", is found in the meetings of the clandestine Communist Party, then the relay to make partisan, and to be" political prisoner "in Auschwitz.
E 'a path of personal growth that goes through tough experiences such as war and betrayal. The story of a youth who meets the dictatorship, the informers, the blood, but says that despite all the will of joy, happiness, togetherness and life. A strong light that goes off just after the entrance to Auschwitz, Ondina Peteani where it becomes the number 81672.
The wagon is on the stage became a scene of puppetry. Ondina is no longer embodied by Martha, but is now a disjointed puppet, almost ghostly entity, deprived of his will. The camp is a place where there is no human being, where everything is flat, even the blooming of a moment of solidarity among prisoners. A very effective directorial choice that makes palpable the inhuman coldness of death camps and torturers who operated. The young
Relay Partisan survive and the conclusion is a call to life, altruism, because the freedom to choose "It 's nice to live free."
One of the best shows that the event "Twenty Ascensionali" brought over the years to Orvieto, the best of the ones seen so far this season. It is no coincidence that this work was the winner of the "Scenario Ustica 2009 "contest sponsored by relatives of the victims open to artists and emerging issues related to the memory and good citizenship.
In a time when there is debate on how to give continuity to the memory, now that the witnesses are coming less, and about how to free days like January 27 or April 25 from a ceremonial and rhetoric that obscure the real meaning, the work of Martha Cuscunà may represent a true paradigm of research.
