Enea, umano eroe. Conferenza spettacolo

As part of the programme linked to the exhibition Troia e Roma, Miti leggende storie del Mediterraneo antico, on Friday 13 November at 17:00 in the Curia Iulia there will be the lecture-performance Enea, umano eroe with a performance by the Balletto del Sud with Andrea Sirianni. Introduction by Prof. Francesco D’Andria: Enea e l’Athenaion di Castro. Tra iconografia e nuove scoperte. The show, a rewriting of the second book of Virgil’s Aeneid, stages the destruction of Troy in the form of a reading-concert. The deception of the horse built by the Greeks and the flight from the burning city with the father Anchises on his shoulders are evoked through the first-person account of Aeneas, played by the actor Andrea Sirianni in a contemporary version of the second book of the Aeneid. The narratives of the last dramatic hours of the glorious kingdom of Priam are supported by the original music of the “DAW – Duni Audiovisual Works” of the Conservatorio di Musica “E.R. Duni di Matera”, conducted by Prof. Sandro Di Stefano.
