“La mia vita raccontata male” (My Life Told Badly) at the Goldoni Theater from April 4th to 7th, 2024, unveils a multifaceted narrative that mirrors the quirks, stumbles, and moments of sheer joy that mark the journey to self-discovery. Blending elements of bildungsroman and a biographical sketch, the show embarks on an eccentric narrative, drawing from Francesco Piccolo’s diverse literary legacy.
This eccentric sequence of stories and situations, encapsulated within the performance, humorously weaves together the myriad choices, flashes, and even paradoxical mistakes that culminate in a life—a life not too dissimilar from any individual’s own experiences. From early romances to cultural references like the Kessler twins, from the fervor of the World Cup to the nuances of political engagement, the show navigates through sentimental education, family dynamics, societal changes, and the intricate web of professional choices.
Delivered in a whimsically wicked and engaging dialogue between the public and private spheres, reality and fiction blur within the performance’s musical and narrative journey. It “tells badly”, highlighting, through music and words, the mishmash of choices or coincidences that contribute to shaping who we are.
Claudio Bisio, guided by Francesco Piccolo’s prose, navigates this vivid and unpredictable tapestry, accompanied by two exceptional musicians, crafting a score that delves into the profound, the playful, the personal, the civil, and the ethical dimensions of existence. The show doesn’t just reflect on life but also indirectly contemplates the art of storytelling, where time transforms events, idealizes the past, and alters memories—reinventing reality in the magical order of a narrative.
