Neri Marcoré – accompanied on the bandoneon by Gianni Iorio – tells the story of the “Mundial dimenticato” (the forgotten world cup”), played in Patagonia by Italian workers, native Americans and German engineers.
Teatro Grassi
Quando la vita era piena di goal is a blend of football, memory and literature.
It is a monologue, written by Fabio Stassi and performed by Neri Marcorè, who provides the imaginary commentary for the IV Campeonato Mundial de Futebol that took place in Patagonia from 5 to 19 December 1942: the “Mundial dimenticato”, where teams composed of Italian workers, native Americans and German engineers played against each other in matches refereed by Butch Cassidy’s son.
A blend of melancholy and tango, enhanced by the sound of the bandoneon played by Gianni Iorio, the show speaks of a time in which it was still possible to dream, footballs were sewn and football shirts were free of sponsorship... and there was Rimet.
A piece that restores the magical relationship between literature, music and football, worlds which are only apparently distant.
Quando la vita era piena di goal is the inaugural show of Milano CalcioCity 2019: the first event dedicated to the story, culture and game of football scheduled from 27 to 30 September.
Duration: 70 minutes without interval
