Italian theatrical weekend with debuts and anniversaries

The Italian theater weekend is rich with debuts and celebrations. In Rome, at the Teatro Eliseo, "Dylan Dog Horror Show" takes the stage, the first theatrical production by Sergio Bonelli Editore for the 40th anniversary of the nightmare investigator. The show, directed by Valter Malosti, marks the theater's reopening after six years.

In Trieste, Franco Branciaroli stars in "Non si sa come," the last completed drama by Luigi Pirandello, staged at the Rossetti on the 90th anniversary of the Nobel Prize winner's death. In Milan, Marco Paolini debuts at the Teatro Grassi with "Dov'è il Po?," the second stage of his project on Italian hydrography. Simultaneously, at the Franco Parenti, Laura Morante stars in the play "Insieme."

The weekend's main event, the theatrical adaptation of Dylan Dog, stems from the forty-year success of the comic created by Tiziano Sclavi in 1986. The character, a paranormal investigator, has become a cultural phenomenon with millions of readers. Sergio Bonelli Editore, the historic Italian comic book publisher, decided to celebrate the anniversary by producing the first official show dedicated to the Nightmare Investigator, entrusting its direction to Valter Malosti.

Simultaneously, Italian theater celebrates Luigi Pirandello on the 90th anniversary of his death (1936). Pirandello, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1934, is a foundational author of twentieth-century theater. The choice of "No One Knows How," his last completed play, reflects contemporary interest in his more introspective texts. Meanwhile, Marco Paolini continues a project begun with "Bestiario idrico," exploring the relationship between rivers, territory, and Italian society, a theme that has become central in the environmental debate in recent years.
