A theatrical monologue by Giuseppe Della
Misericordia, starring Davide Fabbrocino
Directed by Andrea Robbiano
We are in a courtroom, but what unfolds on stage is
much more than a trial. At the centre is a farmer accused of poisoning a wolf
following yet another attack on his livestock. Around him, various conflicting
voices intertwine: a biologist, a hunter, an anti-hunting activist. Each brings
their own truth, their own perspective, in a succession of testimonies that
alternate between factual account and sarcasm, invective and confession.
The performance draws the audience into an
increasingly heated debate, in which the questions become progressively more
uncomfortable and profound, until they touch upon the central issue of the
relationship between humans, animals and the environment. There are no simple
answers, nor positions free of contradictions.
The audience does not simply watch: called upon to
take on the role of the People’s Jury, they become an active part of the trial.
At the end of the performance, it will be up to the audience to deliver a
verdict, deciding on the innocence or guilt of the defendant.
A theatrical experience that engages, provokes and invites reflection, confronting each individual with the responsibility of their own judgement.
