Giorgio Marchesi - Il fu Mattia Pascal

A classic of Italian literature revisited in an ironic and accessible key, with an energetic and entertaining tale. Giorgio Marchesi brings to the stage Il fu Mattia Pascal, the famous novel by Luigi Pirandello, in an interpretation that reveals the irony hidden in the text, making the story engaging also for the new generations.

Through a narration that challenges the ‘heaviness’ often erroneously attributed to literary masterpieces, the show recounts the ‘truly strange case’ of Mattia Pascal, a man who, after having lived an existence marked by loneliness and disillusionment, decides to reinvent himself, giving life to an existential journey that questions the certainties of his identity.
