What do I think of Switzerland
Author
and director Stefano Veneruso
With
Giancarlo Giannini
"Is there a question
that nobody asked you?”. "Yes, I was never asked what do I think about
Switzerland." "You wish that you would ask for?".
"No".
A show dedicated to
Massimo Troisi. "What do I think of Switzerland", this
note the title of the show in memory of one of the most extraordinary Italian
actors. Giancarlo Giannini with his distinctive voice tells the artistic and
human path of the great actor.
Musical compositions,
trace a path retracing not only his career, but also personal moments to help
the viewer to better understand the character and the irony that he had in his
private life.
It might have ended right there, and it would have already been a great deal, but instead there was no peace for the Ovitzes. Back in the country of their birth, in a Romania that had just emerged from Antonescu's anti-Semitic dictatorship, they participated in the establishment of a regime that would soon, after its initial clemency of the Jews, have treated them in the same way pro-American fascists were treated.
