Return to Casa Gori

Alessandro Benvenuti returns, with the second chapter of the Trilogia dei Gori, to perform all the members of the Gori family alone in a vocal and acting tour de force of extraordinary complexity: around forty voices, registers and accents of the Tuscan province. A family saga set in the province of Florence and conceived almost as a game by two friends, Alessandro Benvenuti and Ugo Chiti. A storytelling flow, now become cult, that stages sketches of lived life. A virtuosic weave of stories and voices, all performed by Benvenuti on an almost completely empty stage with only the help of the lighting, inspired by the work of the original edition by Maurizio Viani, and the music of Patrizio Fariselli. The scene is a wake. Around the matriarch Adele’s coffin gather three generations of a small-bourgeois Tuscan family, each with their own grudges, secrets and fragilities. Two films were adapted from the trilogy, both directed by Benvenuti himself: Benvenuti in casa Gori (1990), which became a cult film and Nastro d’Argento winner, and Ritorno a casa Gori (1996).
