800 years after the death of St. Francis (October 3, 1226), the figure and work of the Patron Saint of Italy and the Municipality of Cavallino-Treporti remains a milestone in world culture and civilization.
The St. Francis presented in this show is, in its own way, original in setting, themes, and language. The language unfolds between Italian and the Venetian dialect. The incipit of the show will indeed be set in Treviso in what will become the Church of St. Francis.
However, the two protagonists will move freely through time from the 13th century to today, bringing to life a dystopian reality that will question us about the figure of Francis and the historical moment we live in. The themes addressed are highly relevant today: war, the animal world, wealth and poverty, art.
