CIRANO DEVE MORIRE – DIRECTION LEONARDO MANZAN

Description

Cirano deve morire (Cirano has to die) is a three voices rewriting of the Cyrano di Bergerac by Edmond Rostand. A concrete show with original lyrics and live music that transforms the late XIX century poetry into powerful rap verses. Sharp rhymes and furious rhythm tackle in an implacable way the theme of fiction through the story of one of the most famous love triangles in the theatre’s history: is the story of two friends and the woman they both fall in love with, they are three young just as the young protagonists.

The play recovers the poetic force of the original text through the rhymes and the rhythm of rap, a necessary choice – according to the director – not just to express the heroism or the polemic verve of the protagonist, but also to make contemporary and authentic, therefore faithful to Rostand, the word of love.
