Luigi Pirandello's most famous novel, Il fu Mattia Pascal (The Late Mattia Pascal), the work that brought him worldwide fame, is on stage at the Greco Theatre, directed by Marco Tullio Giordana and adapted by Geppy Gleijeses.
First published in installments in 1904 in the magazine Nuova Antologia, and published as a volume the same year, the novel, in continuity with other great authors such as Wilde, Dostoevsky, Stevenson, simultaneously with Conrad, Freud, Kafka, and later Schnitzler, promoted the widespread popularity of the theme of the Double, the Doppelgänger, in twentieth-century literature. In the work, which tells about the adventures of the protagonist Mattia Pascal and his double Adriano Meis, Pirandello's poetics of the mask and his constant reflection on the "double" that dwells in the lives of all of us, and which conveys the image of the fragmentation of contemporary identity, emerge more than ever.
With Geppy Gleijeses, Marilù Pratie, Antonio Tallura, Roberta Lucca, Giada Lorusso, Totò Onnis, Ciro Capano, Salvatore Esposito, Teo Guarini, Davide Montalbano, Francesca Iasi.
