"Le Passager clandestin" ("The Stowaway") by the Arketal Company, organised by the Department of Cultural Affairs, MonacoTuesday 31 July, at 9.30 pm, Fort Antoine
This is the story of a shepherd, Giovanni Pastore, who comes down from his mountains in Friuli to look for work in Europe, hoping to find "Heaven" on earth..
He takes the route of emigration. Then, on 10 April 1912, dreaming of America, he boards the
Titanic in Cherbourg. He secretly commits
himself to cleaning the 3,177 dessert spoons for the use of first class
passengers.
The past meets the present. Giovanni Pastore is a figure who symbolises outcasts - outcasts
of yesterday and those of today, who face all kinds of danger to flee war or poverty.
This stage adaptation of Great Disaster for polyphonic quartet
and puppets is full of emotion, affection and intelligence.
