The massacre of Sant'Anna di Stazzema scored one of his most 'black in recent history and the celebrations of the XXV Aprile in the city have had several opportunities to make memories. After the show, Elizabeth Salvatori, Sunday at Canal Park is the setting up staged slaughters. 12 August 1944 Sant'Anna di Stazzema, edited and designed by Carlo Ferrari, with the close-knit group of players in this Teatroperunpò reported those facts, those people, those places and judicial proceedings. The event, produced by Theatre Projects and the District of San Leonardo and support Conad Cronos, a collective moment of emotion, reflection and information, detailed historical documentation of a strong and touching personal story crosses the 560 victims of the brutal history world. Around the white and thin cross hoisted at center stage, the symbol St. Anne, the purity of civilians dead, the solitude in which long have been left, the actors enter and exit from all directions, with precise rhythm and tight, arranging themselves in rows, exposing themselves or in pairs, filling the space with looks , gestures and movements in their essentials intense, dry and fast as orders, such as machine guns, like bullets. Everyone to say their story, to remember the numbers and the atrocities, without becoming the Bruna, without interpreting the Evelina, or Ennio Corporal SS interrogated at Nuremberg. Each protagonist of his death or his own salvation, each plot of the story, that consumed the narrow streets of the town, that misrepresented for decades, the celebrated in court only in 2004 (with the life sentences for the SS and fascist collaborators who were stain you these horrendous crimes, all now more than eighty years old). With a dark look but objective, painful but never pity, the Teatroperunpò offers the public a valuable opportunity to learn more about themselves, about who has been in August 1944, victims or murderers, in black shirts or rags, masked or charred. We should also mention the exit, next year, the film Miracle at St. Anna, directed by Spike Lee and based on the book of the same name by James McBride: the encounter between an African American soldier and a child survived, against the backdrop of the horrible Nazi-fascist massacre.
