The Donizetti Theater Foundation's Altri Percorsi review concludes with a show that directly relates to the environmental issues of our time, particularly those caused by the largest steel mill in Europe and Italy: Ilva Football Club. Scheduled for Thursday, March 26, at the Teatro Sociale, in a double repetition, matinee at 10:30 a.m. and evening at 8:30 p.m., the show, winner of the Cura 2022 Call for Proposals, is inspired by the novel of the same name by Fulvio Colucci and Lorenzo D'Alò and is brought to the stage by the Usine Baug & Fratelli Maniglio collective, who directed and dramaturgically curated the play. Performers: Fabio Maniglio, Luca Maniglio, Ermanno Pingitore, Stefano Rocco and Claudia Russo. The story of the former Ilva, the city of Taranto and its inhabitants is told by interweaving two narrative tracks that will turn out to be connected. The narrative is led by a sports program presenter who, breaking down the fourth wall, between anecdotes and commentary, tells the story of the fictitious Sidercalcio, aka Ilva Football Club: a small team composed of workers that, partly by luck, partly by talent and tenacity, surprises the whole country by making its way among the biggest professional teams, until it reaches the final of the Coppa Italia. A dream that slowly collides with reality, crumbles, bringing us into the drama of the second narrative track. Interwoven with the football narrative are monologues and choral moments that make up another, more intimate story, the story of "an Ilva family" born and raised at the foot of the monster, one of the many affected by the monster. This story encapsulates the lives of many families in Taranto and at the same time the lives of many families in other expendable cities, cities that have existed or may exist 100 years from now. Cities with other monsters, producers of other things and generators of other evils that will allow us to continue to consume beyond our limits. Finally, the two narrative planes rejoin to reveal the true interlocutor of the football narrative and the true nature of the Ilva Football Club legend: this will turn out to be an invention, a pantomime staged in a hospital room, a bedtime story to be told to a child, who has closed his eyes and it is not known if he will open them again.
