The Last Moons

Alessandro Haber, directed by Paolo Valerio, is the ironic and moving protagonist of Furio Bordon’s masterpiece, which engages and moves the audience by addressing the theme of the frailty of old age in a very poetic, yet painfully sincere, way. Written in the early 1990s and first performed in Italy by a memorable Marcello Mastroianni in the 1995–1996 season, Le ultime lune by Furio Bordon is a masterpiece of last-century theatre, regarded — like no other contemporary play — as a true classic. Furio’s writing, powerful and at the same time delicate, refined and honest, takes the audience into a pulsating universe of emotions, of family and intimate dynamics, all relatable and capable of touching deeply. An elderly professor waits in his room for the arrival of his son, who will accompany him to the nursing home he has chosen to move into, to leave more space at home for the grandchildren. During this wait, certainly dense with unease and melancholy, he converses with his wife, or rather with the memory of his wife, who died many years earlier.
