Pippo Delbono – autore attore e regista, nei primi anni
‘80 fonda la Compagnia Pippo Delbono, con la quale realizza quasi tutti
i suoi spettacoli, da Il tempo degli assassini (1987) a Orchidee
(2013). Le sue non sono messinscene di testi teatrali ma creazioni
totali, realizzate con un nucleo stabile di attori provenienti da
situazioni sociali di emarginazione che connotano la sua ricerca
poetica. Nasce così Barboni (Premio speciale Ubu 2007). Tra gli altri, La rabbia, Guerra (Premio della Critica), Esodo, Gente di plastica, Urlo, Il silenzio, Questo buio feroce, La menzogna, Racconti di giugno, Enrico V, Dopo la battaglia (Premio Ubu 2011). Per il cinema Guerra (David di Donatello nel 2006), La paura, Amore carne, Sangue. Tra le regie liriche Studio per Obra Maestra, Don Giovanni, Cavalleria rusticana e Madama Butterfly.

Delbono, scenes created by Claude Santerre, lights by Fabio Sajiz and
costumes by Antonella Cannarozzi.
Pippo Delbono created the Gospel
with members of his theatre group and ten Croatian actors and dancers
who with their professional experience also present their lives marked
with traumatic war events. It is a poetic performance with Delbono’s
melodramatic and authentic sensibility and original music of the
renowned composer Enzo Avitabile in which he points out those who are
disempowered and different; this time in the midst of the recent social
problems such as exoduses of entire nations who in their escape from
wars, search for shelter on the Old continent. Using the Gospel as a model, Delbono speaks of the contemporary society.
Re-runs: December 12, 14, 15 and 16, 2015
The Gospel
is an author’s project that will result in various and different
theatre forms. The first step of this process partially includes all the
three artistic ensembles of the CNT in Zagreb who will jointly perform a
contemporary opera. After the world opening night, the Gospel
will be performed next year at the Italian Teatro Comunale in Bologna
and Théâtre de Liege in Belgium. Every step of this new theatre
production will be accompanied by filming of Delbono’s new film The Gospel, in a Suisse-Italian-French-Belgian film production.
This international theatre project is produced by the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb and Emilia Romagna Teatro Fondazione and is also a co-production with the Suisse theatre Vidy from Lausanne, Maison de la Culture d’Amiens and the Belgian Théâtre de Liege. The project is conducted in cooperation with Cinémathèque Suisse from Lausanne and Teatro Comunale from Bologna.
