D’Annunzio e il teatro fuori dal teatro
La messinscena della Figlia di Iorio al Vittoriale (1927) e della Nave a Venezia (1938)
abstract
At the origin of the two stage shows there is the idea of commemoration: September 11, the anniversary of the march on Ronchi, for La Figlia di Iorio to Vittoriale in 1927 and the homage to the Vate who has disappeared for a few months to represent La Nave in Venice in 1938; two different ways of celebrating and ritualising the event/theatre out of the theatre. And while in the first case, in a celebratory context he himself cared for, d’Annunzio became an enthusiastic promoter of a significant updating of the theatrical practice, in 1938 the regime finalised the event to an exaggeration of the duce’s politics in the lagoon marking a substantial distance from the ideological motives that had prompted the author to carry out his work.
