| Friday 14 March at 9:00 p.m. Gente di facili costumi First performed in 1988, with Nino Manfredi himself as the protagonist, this text is still considered one of the most striking on the Italian theatre scene in recent decades. The protagonists of the play are Anna, “Princess”, a prostitute who dreams of becoming “giostraia”, and Ugo, an intellectual who lives writing for TV and cinema who dreams of making an art film. The story starts the night when Ugo goes upstairs to complain with her noisy roommate and she, for confusion, leaves open the tap of the water of the bath irremediably flooding his apartment. Ugo will therefore be forced, also because of an eviction, to find refuge from the “Princess”. With this forced coexistence begins a confrontation/ clash dotted with accidents and misunderstandings, but also a curious association, where each gives to the other what he has. Available online in advance. Place: Teatro del Popolo, piazza Gramsci. Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 March Cinema Mario Monicelli “Il Nibbio”, a film directed by Alessandro Tonda, recounts the twenty-eight days that preceded the tragic 4 March 2005, when Nicola Calipari (Claudio Santamaria), key figure of SISMI, gave his life to save Giuliana Sgrena (Sonia Bergamasco), journalist kidnapped in Iraq by a terrorist group. Silent hero of the operations in Iraq, Calipari has dedicated his career to protecting lives and preserving peace. The mystery of his murder, however, remains unanswered. A story of courage, sacrifice and truths never revealed. The screening on Saturday 15 will be held at 9:30 p.m. while that of Sunday 16 at 17:30 p.m. Tickets also available online.
