Written and directed by <strong>Alessandro Baricco<\/strong>, with original music by <strong>Giovanni Sollima<\/strong>, <strong><em>Thucydides. Athens vs. Melos<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0stages \u2013 on <strong>Tuesday November 25<sup>th<\/sup><\/strong> at 8.30 p.m. at <strong>Lingotto Auditorium<\/strong> \u2013 the famous dialogue between Athenians and Melians from The Peloponnesian War by the great Greek historian. Together with the authors, <strong>Stefania Rocca<\/strong> and <strong>Valeria Solarino<\/strong> will embody the ambassadors of the two cities, with the accompaniment of <strong>100 Cellos<\/strong> led by <strong>Enrico Melozzi<\/strong>: an orchestral army for a drama in which sound and acting join together into a single, powerful show. A <a href=\"https:\/\/scuolaholden.it\/\"><strong>Scuola Holden<\/strong><\/a> production, marking an unusual opening of <strong><em>Concerti del Lingotto<\/em><\/strong> to languages that connect words, stage and music.<\/p>\n<h3>Thucydides and the <em>Peloponnesian War<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The Peloponnesian War lasts fifteen years between Athenians and Spartans without any decisive victory. In 416 BC, the small island of Melos attempts to maintain its neutrality in the conflict. Athens doesn\u2019t agree and sends its ambassadors with an ultimatum. The dialogue that follows is fierce. Athenians claim the law of the strongest, Melians appeal to justice and law. Thucydides tells the dialogue as a witness, transcribing the exact words and reconstructing the verbal clash with a powerful dramatic tension: an authentical theatrical pi\u00e8ce. By staging these pages, Baricco reveals their real nature.<\/p>\n<h3>A joining of words, music and theatre<\/h3>\n<p>Author, director and narrator on stage, Baricco writes a script in which Stefania Rocca and Valeria Solarino bring to life an ancient dialogue that still questions the present. However, the show&#8217;s visual protagonists are the 100 Cellos led by Enrico Melozzi. Their presence evokes the highlights of the story. Giovanni Sollima&#8217;s original music marks the rhythm of the debate, becoming part of the narration. More than a soundtrack, the score acts as a second dramatic voice and it rebuilds the scene into a collective ritual.<\/p>\n<p>\u2192\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lingottomusica.it\/en\/evento\/thucydides-athens-vs-melos\/\">Info and tickets<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A universal meditation on power, law, justice and freedom.
