| A merchant, father of three daughters, gets lost in the woods. He finds refuge in the palace of the Beast. While there, he tries to steal a rose and for this reason, the Beast threatens to kill him. The only way to be saved is that one of his daughters dies in his place. The most beautiful daughter accepts the sacrifice. But she will then encounter a different fate. Beauty and the Beast pursues the course of a narration for two and simultaneously, investigates the topic of diversity. Through the fascinating plot of this classic tale, we encounter aspects of the issue which are still relevant today, in particular, in this case, the "different" that is within us. Both protagonists of the story have characteristics that make them special, but at the same time, similar to each of us. Our work focuses mainly on deepening and searching for their most humane aspects: why does a human being sometimes become a beast? Is there perhaps a "beast" inside each of us? What drives us to being bad, to continue being so? | by Roberto Anglicans and Liliana Letterese with Liliana Letterese and Andrea Lugli choreography Catherine Tables costumes Lorenzo Cutuli director Roberto Anglisani production Accademia Perduta / Romagna Teatri |
