Milan, October 16 (askanews) – Arthur Miller's The American Clock debuted at the Teatro Vascello in Rome and arrives at the Elfo Puccini in Milan on October 23. Director Elio De Capitani introduced the play to askanews. "The American Clock is a dream of mine. It features 50 characters, recounting the 29 crisis, and also features Arthur Miller's family, which is the nucleus of many of his stories.
"But how do you put on a show like this? They called me from the Silvio D'Amico Academy of Dramatic Arts and told me I could do the final performance of the third year. "So Miller. A different Miller. A circus Miller, a Miller somewhere between Fellini and Brecht," said De Capitani, who then also spoke about the economic and contemporary dimension of the great American stock market crash.
"Only an illusion can grow 67 times in three hours," added the director, quoting one of the characters, the only one who understood the speculative bubble and survived. Perhaps this is the most powerful message for us today. Alongside the renewal of the incredible magic of the stage and theater, we already knew this.
