On Monday, February 23, the theatrical show “Orlando. Furiously Rolling Alone” will take place at the Teatro Comunale Dino Buzzati, for the Tib Teatro – Schools at the Theater series.

Taken from “Hruodlandus. Free Medieval Rolling” by Enrico Messina and Alberto Nicolino

The words of the songs and octaves of Ludovico Ariosto take on new life on stage, a bit betrayed and a bit re-sounded, and the narrative advances amidst flashes of dazzling humor and moments of great intensity, mixing origins, traditions, and dialects. In the passionate writing work of Enrico Messina and Alberto Nicolino, some episodes from Orlando Furioso have been faithfully retold, others reworked, and others completely invented, as is the very essence of the art of storytelling, to rediscover the pleasure of “fabulating” and the “fascination” of words, the sense of listening to stories and sharing them with others.

A white shirt, a trumpet, and a stool: that’s all you need to tell the tales of Charlemagne’s paladins and the fearsome Saracens. The essentiality of the scene contrasts with the richness and colors of the evoked images: encampments, ladies, duels, enchantments, palaces, armors, steeds… a whirlwind of battles and chases, driven by the passion, real or presumed, for a woman, a knight, or an ideal. Timeless stories of men from every era, where everything is paradox, hyperbole, exaggeration.
