Last night we at TEXI we attended at the Teatro dei Rozzi in Siena to
the staging of "Little Europa", a drama brought by the Apulian company
VicoQuartoMazzini as part of In-Box Live 2016.
We have to start by saying that in this post we express a subjective opinion, without claiming to review the show, as well as would do an expert theater critic.
The drama is loosely based on "The Little Eyolf", wrote by the author and poet Henrik Ibsen, in which two parents do not realize that their child is drowning in the sea, because they are too busy to reproach their own faults.
The goal of "Little Europe" is to generate in the viewer a reflection on the motivations that drive human beings to build social relationships, only to sacrifice them for the sake of selfish desires. With a clever use of words and idioms everything is adapted to the European situation today, in which we no longer know what were the reasons that led the nations to set up a modern union of states, but emerge only the selfish interests of individual countries facing the economic crisis or the emergence of migrants.
European responsibilities are placed in parallel to those that should have parents. The crisis of a marital relationship become the manifest inability of the countries of the member states and at the disregard for a sick child connects obstinate will to assert individualism and with it nationalism.

Through the use of different languages and the main Community
language, namely English, it investigates the lack of communication and
the need to strongly assert their origins.
A praise to the actors and the soundtrack, punctuated by compositions of great European musicians, who were Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven, which is used the Ode to Joy from the Ninth Symphony to accompany the time when the deformed "Little Europe" rebels angrily to an imaginary nanny, snapping a whip.
Congratulations to the initiative!
