[...] Gardens insurgents: in the farm with Pasolini
But as you grow basil? Grandpa was right, or the book "a perfect garden in 7 days? These questions must have haunted Elena, when, as an actress says, has chosen to return to its origins in the Maremma countryside to raise her son. Elena Guerrini theater and film actress is also known by the general public to play important roles in the cast of Pupi Avati and Pippo Del Bono. His work today is a rediscovery, avant-garde art rural practice variation of the much-theorized decrease happy.
"After the birth of Darius I began to ask what we eat and breathe, what are our human relationships, how to retrieve the ancient bond with the land. Hence the idea of \u200b\u200bgardens Insurgents - in the garden with Pasolini , Calvin and me 'Grandpa farmer in Maremma.
Performances Elena elude to the theaters today. I am a rite that is celebrated every Sunday, right in the farms. The real ones, not the beauty farm. Those where the farmers are yet. And where viewers pay their "entry ticket" in nature: cheese, olive oil bottles, wine bottles, jars of honey. And as in the past after threshing or harvesting, are celebrated again the "vigils" peasants' meeting place, laughter, reflection and popular culture.
Elena tells us willingly in its choice of civic theater. His return to the rural origins, the fact of giving space to the memory of his grandfather's ditties, proverbs, old-fashioned recipes. A choice is not at all naive. In his defense cites Pasolini: "I do not seek a golden age, but an age of bread," a phrase that echoes in the show.
"Orti insurgents was born so in need to tell something true, something urgent, "says Elena. "For since the storytellers are gone, the only reference for those who live in the country is given by the television." The choice of "I come to your home" empowers people to the hospitality and debate. Now each one gives the best of themselves and of their self-produced goods. The experts on the subject, those who come from the city, buy a good local wine and take that as a business.
The show is disruptive. Elena recalls the bitter life of sharecroppers, shouts, sings, charms. The audience laughs uproariously. Humor archaic, almost Boccaccio, is not spared the lashes chilling effect on the decline of today: vulgarity SUV, the damage of monoculture, transgenic seeds, the reduced life to a commodity. Appear the names of characters far too distant from the sermons television: the battles of Vandana Shiva, the garden synergistic Fukuoka, Libereso Guglielmi, gardener, Calvin, key pawn in the genesis of the show.
experience beyond the show, with the same risk of muddy shoes.
