From the 6th until the 18th of March, you can enjoy the theatre play ´Il coraggio di Adele´ at the Piccolo Teatro Eliseo in Rome, a young production written and directed by Giampiero Rappa, starring the beautiful Terese Saponangelo.
´Il coraggio di Adele´ is a thrilling love story set in war time, between a woman and a man that had never seen each other before. At first, the casual couple are forced to live together for a brief period of time in a hut. There, they await the end of the Allied bombings that are trying to save the country. Lucas is injured and ill and Adele decides to help him and take care of him until he gets better, risking her life every day to do so. Adele is a young aristocrat who is looking for her place in the world, feeling let down by love since her boyfriend decided to voluntarily go to war. Lucas comes from a humble family and is chasing his dream of becoming a prestigious photographer together with his colleagues, a certain Linda of whom he talks about sporadically. Between both of them differences and arguments arise due to their different social and ideological position but, at the same time, an inevitable physical attraction appears. One night, while peace reigned inside the precarious hut, Adele and Lucas make love. The next morning, the young man feels fit again from his injuries and is ready to go, despite that Adele tries to stop him in vain.
A year after the war has finished, and thanks to fate, both meet again on the terrace of an open air bar. They talk and tell each other about what happened to them during that time and how their lives have changed radically during their separation.
The play is an original creation of Giampiero Rappa. The young playwright is one of the greatest promises of Italian scenic arts. An actor, writer and director, Rappa faces the cuts of public funds in the field of culture with a dramatic play full of symbolism and social background. Filippo Dini plays the role of Lucas and Teresa Saponangelo is the star of ´il coraggio di Adele´. Saponangelo, from Taranto, has participated in numerous films, TV series and theatre plays, with her performances receiving numerous awards.
The play will take place at the Teatro Eliseo, which is located in the central Via Nazionale, in Rome, just a few hundred meters from the Forum and the main remains of the Imperial city, the Colosseum and the Circus Maximus. It´s one of the most charismatic theatres in the Eternal City and it already has 100 years of history behind it, the heir of the location of the old Theatre of Apolo.
