In a show which interweaves stories with poetry, celebrating the Neapolitan language in all of its baroque beauty, Mimmo Borrelli and Roberto Saviano, aim at the heart of Naples, a city of blood and burning hot lava, exploring its mysteries and contradictions. Actor and narrator visit a number of the key points in Neapolitan history in a continuous osmosis between the heavenly and the underground.

Blood is the common thread in a show of words, lights and sounds, with a wonderful original live score. It is the blood which liquifies, every year renewing the pact between the saint and his people; it is the blood of the first Christian martyrs, but also that of the “lay martyrs” of the Neapolitan Republic who, at the end of the 18th century tried to oppose Bourbon oppression with their democratic ideals; it is the haemorrhage of the emigration of the early 1900s, when thousands and thousands of Italians crossed the ocean in search of a better future; it is the blood spilled beneath the bombs of the Second World War; and, lastly, by the attacks of the Camorra. In a show which weaves together narration and poetry, celebrating the Neapolitan language in all its Baroque beauty, Mimmo Borrelli and Robert Saviano, aim at the heart of Naples, a city of blood and burning hot lava, exploring its mysteries and contradictions.
Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes with no intermission
