Within the cycle In Scena A Palazzo, the Instituto Italiano de Cultura of Madrid presents on Wednesday 28 May at 8 pm, the show by Marco Baliani entitled Body of State. Moro crime: a divided generation.
On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the death of Aldo Moro, first broadcast live on RAI 2 on 9 May 1998 from the Imperial Forums in Rome, Baliani’s theatrical account is reconstructed and questioned in a clear and honest way on those days, with the need to understand and not miss the sense and meaning of justice. A portrait of a symbol of power that has suddenly become too uncomfortable, and a country stunned and confused by the succession of statements and denials. A man imprisoned in a struggle between factions, the Red Brigades and the political class of the time, who through him put his terminal political game in check.
State body. The Moro crime: a divided generation, taken from Baliani’s book published by Rizzoli in 2003, is a historical portrait and dramatic experience of impact, inspired by Aldo Moro’s 55-day detention. A document and a relaxed and open portrait of a generation that, faced with the tragedy of conscience, was divided. But also the story of a man of theatre, who precisely in those years began the profession of actor.
