“The word Father” – voiced by six actresses of different nationalities directed by Italian Gabriele Vacis
Alongside Tobelia, the Bulgarian play invited in the 2015 NETA International Theatre Festival in Bucharest, another play committed to investigating the feminine realm in the contemporary world will be presented early September by Koreja - Teatro Stabile d'Innovazione of Lecce, Italy.
Artwork, dance, music, impactful personal tales will feature in a modern adaptation at the National Theatre of Bucharest during the Festival. Six girls at a crossroad of the present, four national languages (Italian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, and Polish) and an international one – English, act under the mark of a meaningful word, The Word Father, sharing a common heritage in Italian between “padre” and “patria”.
A sophisticated linguistic work, theatrically efficient, the poetic drama in rough writing was layed on paper after tedious interviews turned into psycho-analysis sessions and then staged by a renowned artist, Gabriele Vacis. Endowed with a sense for precision and with a degree in architecture, director, playwriter, TV screenplay writer, educator, and founding-director of a theatre granted prestigious awards, Vacis reveals a vigurous spirit in a constant search.
The six young actresses were selected by Vaci during a seminar for Central and Eastern Europe organised by Koreja, a theatre welcoming innovation and competition, and their six interpretations were rewarded with a rich record (two international awards: “Best Actress Apollom” 2012 in Albania, and the “Adelaide Ristori” Award in Italy, at Mittelfest 2014, as well as numerous positive reviews). The six amazing life stories will be on the NTB stage in the “Studio” Hall, on September 1st, reunited in “The Word Father”.
