PROJECT
Recipients: teens from the Ponticelli suburb

In Le Furbizie di Scapino, the most Italian of all of Molière comedies, the action takes place in Naples and the central character is Scapino, a deceiver and criminal. He is the clever worker whom the bourgeoisie call upon to settle their affairs. If Molière chose to set this play in Naples, it is not only to pay homage to Scaramouche, but also because Naples was already at that time the city of possibilities and excesses. “Working on this play”, says Raphaël Trano, “I wish to question the relationship between the working class and the bourgeoisie in contemporary society and also the generational relations between youth and old age. We will work by mixing theatre, Neapolitan puppets and video.”

THE CONTEXT
Associazione Trerrote (Teatro Ricerca Educazione)
Based in the Eastern Periphery of Naples (Ponticelli), it was born from the blending of theatre, education, and psychology professionals who followed the experience of Maestri di Strada. They pursued the idea that art and education can identify and mobilize the inner resources of young people and can contribute to the human and urban regeneration of the peripheries of the soul and the city. Its activities focus on interweaving workshop paths and theatrical performances addressed to teenagers and young adults, without ever leaving the experimentation, dissemination, and research of Theatre-Education methodologies and practices.
