MIlano, Mar 4 (askanews) – The restless and tormented life of the empress Elizabeth of Austria, commonly known as Sissi: a woman who, subtracted from olography thanks also to the publication of her diaries, appears in a guise as disruptive as it is irreverent. “Sissi the Empress” is staged today to March 16 at the Blue Room of the Franco Parenti Theater in Milan (via Pier Lombardo 14). Written and directed by Roberto Cavosi and played by Federica Luna Vincenti with Milutin Dapcevic, Ira Nohemi Fronten, Claudia A. Marsican and Miana Merisi.
Antimperialist and disgusted by the atrocities of the wars that flare up around her, anorexic, in the eternal mourning for the absurd deaths of two of her children, Sissi develops a painful and angry sensitivity at the same time but far from abstract. Equipped with a ferocious sarcasm, the Habsburg Court and the nobles was stuck – a depraved slat – in no uncertain terms. He did not even read all the bitter irony of which he was capable of, a way to hide his vulnerability, the fragility of his soul who sought in every way to find relief by taking refuge in poetry, lover of Heine and Baudelaire, he made up herself poems.
An incredibly multifaceted and tireless soul in the continuous and contradictory search for what to be able to do to improve the world and at the same time how to escape from reality, maniacally devoted himself to the care of his body, his hairstyle, to the choice of shoes, a barrier against the sense of death that hovered around her. Prophet of the imminent collapse of the Habsburg Empire, Sissi shows that world as a paradigm of today’s one, of a present in which the plagues of overpowering, racism and war are more virulent than ever.
The show is a Goldenart Production production, Stabile Theater of Bolzano and Stabile Theater of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
