S.i say that is not a real Sanremo Festival without controversy. They are part of the game, of the outline, of the color. Sometimes they have fun as well, others less. By now we are used to: from the choice of conductor – which never satisfies everyone – to that of his “shoulder“. Not to mention the look of the singers, or that of guests and of valleys.
This time, however, the criticisms begin well before the festival starts. And, to start them is a Senator (Northern League) of the Italian Republic, who seems very interested in who will join Amadeus on the stage of Sanremo 2022.
Simone Pillon against Drusilla Foer
Simone Pillon, this time, he decided to take it out on Drusilla Foer, one of the five women who will alternate next to the conductor in the various evenings.
The senator of the Lega Simone Pillon rejoices: the San bill has not passed (Ansa)
Drusilla is the theatrical alter ego of Gianluca Gori, a cultured and refined artist who has been animating television salons for years (Strafactor, Matrix Chiambretti, CR4 – The Republic of Women). Cinema did not miss, starring in Magnificent presence by Ferzan Ozpetek (below), nor the theater, bringing his show on tour, Very elegant.
Simone Pillon’s post on Drusilla Foer
Here, the point is that Pillon doesn’t like that to get on such an important stage is a man who plays a woman. So, he decided to attack the Rai decision by writing a post on Facebook, which you can find entirely below. «As was largely predictable», Simone Pillon writes, «at the festival of #Sanremo more and more LGBT the quota has been assigned gender-inclusive already in the phase of choosing the conductors “.
He then asks «a question. But always in respect of the quotas, one could not have one among the co-presenters normal dad (one eh, not two), and perhaps of inspiration conservative? It would be a good sign, if only for the protection of endangered species television “.
The inconsistencies in his post
Beyond the positions of each on the subject, it is worth pointing out that Drusilla is a fictional character, an artist, and who must be taken and considered as such.
In Ancient Greece, female characters of fundamental importance such as Antigone, Clytemnestra, Phaedra and Medea – protagonists of the writing of the greatest playwrights – had men as interpreters. And this also in the Ancient Rome.
Not only that: Pillon wants a “normal dad” on stage. It’s the same Amadeus, host of the five evenings, is not himself a “normal dad”, since he has given birth Alice and José? Perhaps Pillon should be asked if they are there fathers who are worth less or more than others in his consideration.
