Pirandellian Week festival in Agrigento

Overview

The Pirandellian Week festival in Agrigento commenced at the Teatro dell’Efebo with the opening of the comedy ‘Il Vitalizio’. Written by Andrea Camilleri and based on a novella by Luigi Pirandello, the production was directed by Giuseppe Romani.

Following the opening, director and actor Augusto Zucchi presented ‘L’uomo, la bestia e la virtù’, a free adaptation inspired by Pirandello’s work and the novella ‘Richiamo all’obbligo’. Zucchi aimed to use comedic elements to critique bourgeois hypocrisy and make Pirandello’s philosophy more accessible to younger audiences.

The festival is scheduled to conclude on August 22 with the presentation of the Kaos ‘Pippo Montalbano’ Prize, awarded by the Associazione Nuovo Piccolo Teatro di Agrigento to individuals in the performing arts and culture.
