“Come Dio si muove sul palcoscenico” by Vincenzo Amone (Ladolfi Editore, BorgomaneroNovara, 2013) is a work that includes two monologues "Adam" and "Eve", a dialogue between holy (Agata, Agnese, Lucia and Cecilia), a one-act play "I, Luigi Pirandello," a drama in three acts "Savonarola" and a final critical note of the same title of the book. The author, a native of Favara (AG), lives in the province of Florence; degree in modern literature at the University "La Sapienza" of Rome, deals with issues literary and religious, non-fiction and fiction, and has to his credit dozens of publications. He wrote and represented, as regards the theater, seven texts.
Those of which we are concerned in this review have certainly connotations in some ways than the prevalence of unpublished texts in circulation because they intend to convey to the reader and, above all, to the viewer, a message of Christian inspiration not otherwise easily veicolabile. The drama allows, in fact, to give expressiveness and touching different "keys" ranging from reason to feeling emotions sincere and profound human soul. The author says that his theater "is both religious in the broadest and deepest to embrace all the radical questions of man and is in the most decisive and precise Christian; a field, you would say, simplistic, but at one time in his immense stresses and stimuli in the cultural, literary and spiritual, as an expression of what is inexpressible. "
In "Dialogue between Sante" are evoked life c martyrdom of early Christians and is unprecedented this relational approach between the four female figures with the help of the choir and the pastor of the church Catania Evcrio. Remarkable seems the one-act "it, Luigi Pirandello," which presents the writer and playwright Sicily at the end of his life when, after living so many bitter experiences and exciting and having traveled the world, and it returns to Girgenti meets in an inn with three persons of the people and the same host, very different from him not only in dress and door chin, but also and especially in the way of life they take.
In a conversation inevitable in the small room he recalls the events of his life and ends with this monologue: "I have always traveled, called here and there as c urged to maintain a requirement that the contract had senz'esserrnene noticed now the circle you go shrinking ... I'm losing my form beyond the confines of the Chaos, the Chaos Very interesting and innovative this piece. Also remarkable drama in three acts "Savonarola" in which between 'Girolamo Savonarola is presented in the context of the time with the characters of the Florence of the sixteenth century by Lorenzo Il Magnifico to Sandro Botticelli to the humble friars and other figures, but also the papacy of Alexander VI and his messengers and many commoners.
It 'a work that revives the momentum of fervent preacher and the clash with the temporal power and ecclesiastic who does not accept his complaints loud and disruptive, to the hanging of the protagonist and the burning of his body, sought by the same imitation of Christ being flogged and crucified. The powerful dramatic charge and the impact on the public. The author admits that "put his hand in a work always brings a little 'of trepidation for that kind of consciousness of failure that you have in front of a great idea that dominates. But always prevails a kind of poetic risk ". It seems to us that the work of Amone can enter worthily among those Fabbri or Turoldo and the latest Leonardo Mello, who gave a significant mark on the scene of Christian inspiration.
