ANDREA SCANZI in THE DISASTER Chronicle of a government of runaways
After the huge success of Renzusconi (2018) and Il cazzaro verde (2019-2020), Andrea Scanzi — a playwright and actor since 2011 — returns to the stage with a new political satire: La Sciagura – Cronaca di un governo di fugati di casa. Based on the bestseller of the same name published by Paper First, Scanzi now stages the boundless pettiness of a government made up mostly of "runaways." Ninety minutes of (bitter) laughter, information, and indignation, starting with an analysis of Giorgia Meloni's political career and then mercilessly retracing the government's inconsistencies, the right's excessive criticisms, and the culpable evanescence of an extremely embarrassing ruling class. From the second highest official in the state, La Russa (sic), to the distinguished statesman Donzelli (help!), from the grim busts of the Duce to the mythical naval blockades, from Lollobrigida's trains to Sgarbi's paintings. From Valditara's serial blunders to those of Sangiuliano, from the investigations into Santanché and Delmastro to Pozzolo's New Year's Eve "bang," from the unwitting comedian Gasparri to Vannacci's tragically obscurantist theses. From the memory of Paolo Borsellino (ignobly cited by these rulers who have nothing to do with him) to the songs of Gaber and Guccini (whom Meloni loves, but evidently understands nothing of). An irresistible monologue filled with music, satire, fervor, and civic impulse, without reticence or discounts. A heartfelt and unmissable show to recount these disoriented times. To interpret the present. And to resist this inexorable collapse of our own politicking.
“LA SCIAGURA” (produced by GRUPPOANTEPRIMA) will be on stage:
