On Saturday, March 22, The Front Page will be held, a theatrical performance of the National Festival of Amateur Theatre Paolo Dego at the Piccolo Teatro G. Pierobon in Paiane.

‘The Front Page’ tells the story of the life, in the early 1900s, of the inhabitants of a small town in the United States of America: Grover’s Corners. Wilder makes us reflect on the values of human life and the universe. It is an extraordinary journey into the ordinary, an attempt to find a supreme value for all the small events of our daily lives. It is a claim, a demand. Grover’s Corner could be any town or place of life, against the backdrop of the vast dimensions of time and space.
The words that continuously recur in this play are “hundreds,” “thousands,” “millions.” The mistake is to try to “navigate life” only through numbers or money, instead of delving into human relationships and the dreams contained within them. And here the scenic setup finds its justification. Our claim, our hope, our despair are in the mind, not in things, not in the “scenery.”
A poetic text that in its apparent simplicity brings us back to dreams, to the moon, to the stars. Not an easy task these days. Remembering to “live” these things may not always make us feel good, but it will make us feel better. A right time to reflect. We really need it.
