Alcuni commenti su TuttoDante ad Atene

Pubblichiamo alcuni commenti che ci avete inviato a info@unbenignidanobel.it sugli spettacoli di TuttoDante ad Atene del 5 e 6 maggio 2009.

*Chrysa Mayioglou :
I had the happiness to see Roberto Benigni, live in Athens on 6th of May. As a big fan of him i could not have missed it and i was really amazed. I cannot speak italian but i understood the meaning of every single word he said. Benigni has a special gift to speak by his (wonderful) heart. He is so energetic and funny but so dramatic at the same time. That is why i think he is the best comedian of our times and he is also my favourite actor and director.
His show was full of love, deep emotions, the magic of Dantee and amazing perfomance. Noone would be the best for this show. It was a river full of emotions. The best of poetry with the magical performance.
And Benigni… That is enough. I am so moved by him, every time i see him that i think i live in some other world. The wonderful world he always create when acting.

*Giuseppe Marseglia :
Ciao Benigni, ti volevo ringraziare per la grande serata che ci hai fatto passare ad Atene, ci hai fatto sognare. GRAZIE!!!!!!!

*Lefteris Vrettakos :
Ho tanto atteso per vedere lo spettacolo di Benigni che finalmente ha raggiunto la Grecia.
Naturalmente è stata una esperienza straordinaria, con un Benigni come sempre spettacolare ed un’analisi del quinto canto dell’Inferno di Dante semplicemente unica.
Seguire i versi di una tale opera senza l’approfondimento che offre Benigni (su date, personaggi, con parabole, con analisi del mondo contemporaneo di Dante, etc.) è forse diffilice. Roberto riesce a trasportarti al fianco di Dante e vivere con lui questo viaggio straordinario.
Per la prima parte dello spetacolo che è una tipica commedia “Benigniana” (povero Berlusconi) senza fiato e senza sosta, non si può dire niente di non già scritto.
Benigni ha offerto agli spettatori Ateniesi due giornate indimenticabili.
La seconda giornata (7/05/09) che ho seguito io, resterà sempre impressa nel mio cuore, anche se, il sentimento che mi e’ prevalso dopo, è che è durata poco e volevo sentire una decina di canti in più ;-) ….Ringrazio Benigni per l’indimenticabile serata e per avermi fatto amare quest’opera di letteratura, che 2 anni fa mi sembrava pesante e inavvicinabile.

Tonight and tomorrow night TuttoDante will be held in Athens Concert Hall

Roberto Benigni – Μέγαρο Μουσικής Αθηνών

Στην Αθήνα θα βρεθεί στις αρχές Μαϊου (5 και 6) ο βραβευμένος με Όσκαρ ηθοποιός Roberto Benigni, για να παρουσιάσει στο Μέγαρο Μουσικής Αθηνών τον μονόλογο “Κόλαση και Παράδεισος”, που βασίζεται στην “Θεία Κωμωδία” του Δάντη. Από τα τρία μέρη του ιταλικού επικού ποιήματος (“Κόλαση”, “Καθαρτήριο”,”Παράδεισος”) ο Benigni επέλεξε το πρώτο και σκηνοθετεί τον εαυτό του στο πέμπτο canto, που πραγματεύεται την αγάπη.

Roberto Benigni will be in Athens to present excerpts from Dante’s Divine Comedy in two performances at the Athens Concert Hall on 5 and 6 May.

The famous Italian comic and director, who received three Oscars for his film Life is Beautiful, is touring internationally with a performance called Inferno e Paradiso, which presents Hell, one of the three parts of the Divine Comedy. He has especially selected to present the 5th Canto, which addresses the meaning of love, for his appearance in Athens.

The Italian comic has directed many films and has starred in even more. His first public appearance came in the 1970s when he took part in a popular television show. He became more involved in directing in the 1980s, and his career reached a peak in 1997 with his direction of the tragic comedy, Life is Beautiful.

This time, the audience will enjoy the Italian actor in Dante’s Divine Comedy, considered one of the most important literary works in the world. It has been called the “epitome of the medieval world.”

Dates: 5,6 May 2009
Start time: 20:30
Venue: Athens Concert Hall, Megaron Mousikis

Benigni booked to stage Dante in Athens

Roberto Benigni will bring his new project to Athens on May 5 and 6.

(Kathimerini) Roberto Benigni, the Italian actor and director who won us over in 1997 with his powerful performance as Guido in the Oscar-winning “Life is Beautiful,” is now launching a different project.

With a performance titled “Inferno e Paradiso” (Hell and Heaven), he is taking Dante’s landmark poem “The Divine Comedy” on an international tour that will include two stops at the Athens Concert Hall on May 5 and 6. For those interested, tickets are already available.

In his “Divine Comedy,” Dante describes an imaginary journey into the underworld, narrated in the first person, which starts on Good Friday in 1300. The use of detail makes the journey incredibly realistic – the hours and locations are recorded with mathematical precision. During his passing through Hell and Purgatory, the poet is accompanied by his teacher Virgil. His crossing of Heaven happens in the presence of Beatrice, a character who represents the female ideal, according to Dante, and who is probably based on Beatrice Portinari, a real person he was associated with.

Benigni is expected to make lots of reversals. The only thing known so far is that for his Athens performances, he has chosen the 5th Canto of “The Divine Comedy,” which deals with the concept of love.
