Argo's story "is a “great little book” that strikes you straight to the heart. It makes you want to enter those events, uncovering the unspoken, giving voice to the silences, rediscovering History. The desire of Maria Ariis - one of the extraordinary performers in the show - has, therefore, also become mine. To translate all this on stage. Making active and emotional memory is the task of theatre. And everyone in life can meet Argo, that dog who reminds you who you are and where you come from' writes Serena Sinigaglia, director of this new play. An excellent writer and translator, Ciani experienced as a child the exodus from Pola, Istria, after the Second World War and recounts that tear with delicacy, through the separation from her dog York. York like Argo, Ulysses' dog, symbol of ‘home’, of waiting and of faithful friendship. His novel Storia di Argo has the breath of poetry, never falling into polemic or essay. Sinigaglia translates it on stage as a confrontation between generations: a grandmother who lived through the exodus, a mother who knew it from her mother, and a daughter who knows nothing about it confront each other today, in an intimate and human way, on that piece of history: the family dimension compared with the historical one, yesterday, today, tomorrow. Freely inspired by the novel Storia di Argodi Mariagrazia Ciani Original text by Letizia Russo Director Serena Sinigaglia With Ariella Reggio, Maria Ariis, Lucia Limonta Sets Andrea Belli Costumes Valeria Bettella Lighting and sound Roberta Faiolo Assistant director Michele Iuculano Production Il Rossetti Teatro Stabile Del Friuli Venezia Giulia, Teatro Stabile di Bolzano
