Oreste is interned in the asylum of the Osservanza in Imola. He was abandoned when he was a child, and from an orphanage to a reformatory, from a chore to an outrage on a public official, he ended up in there because, quite simply, in Italy, it used to be like this. L’Oreste is a reflection on abandonment and denied love. On how life often does not discount and is merciless.
A very original show, of poignant poetry and strength, in which dramatic and other tenderly comic moments flow. Thanks to the hand of Andrea Bruno, one of the best Italian illustrators, and to the collaboration with the Lucca Comics Festival, the show works with the continuous interaction between theater and animated comics. Claudio Casadio gives life and voice to an unforgettable character, tackling the important and delicate theme of mental illness with great actor sensitivity.
