But here is a video of the staging at the #teatrosistina:
From the notes of direction by Massimo Romeo Piparo
“Reading the Gospels it seems almost obvious that the musical background must be rock. That the most suitable setting is a desert with some static architectural elements and animated by the only power of music. That the right era for their representation are the 70s.
Yet before Jesus Christ Superstar it was not like that. That's why Webber's work and Rice entered the myth.
And that myth should not be disperted absolutely, re-interpreted, elaborate: it must be respected, homage, celebrated.
And so, with the same emotion of the first day of replies in that distant 1994, Every evening the magical ritual is renewed that gives us back the idea of an eternal myth. His comparison with the same reason to be: On the one hand the people, on the other who governs him. All at the same time architects and victims of a betrayal committed for love by whom “lives for death” and whose role will only be done when, abandoned the institutional guise of custodian of a life partnership, will offer and procure death for himself.
An eternal myth for a people who still did not stop undergoing their martyrdom but has seen the series of direct or indirect martyrs multiply: it continues to die because elsewhere, in this land, It is decided like this.
Don't try to find signs in this staging, nor comparisons with eras, historical phases: there is the eternal, timeless sense of anguish for a humanity that has always elected its messiahs and then send them to martyrdom, Create your myths and then destroy them, I professed your ideology to promptly deny it "
