Il Teatro degli Orrori

Last thursday the 29th of March I've been at Teatro Degli Orrori @alcatraz in Milano. It was since CCCP's gig in 1988 at Teatro Tenda Partenope in Naples that I haven't seen such a demostration of strenght and intellectual pretentiousness. I like that. I like that somebody such as Pierpaolo Capovilla reminds us that existentialism and literature are still items to be taken care of. The noise, the blackness, the avantgarde attitude and the liberating screams made my day and indeed made it for the the thousands of italian alternative rockers happy to survive in this new light made of a dark spiritual strenght leading us to revolt. Once we established that "il Paese รจ reale" there is no need to imagine Italy as the country of well being and pizzamafiamandolino, no matter what. We're rotten, corrupted, ancient and controversial. We love Majakovsky, Pasolini, Ken Saro Wiwa, Antonin Artaud and we need to react to this very shameful generation made of Emilio Fede's types. Silvio's reign is ended and habitual lies are less fashionable now although still a national hobby. Listen to "il Teatro degli Orrori"especially if you're NOT italian as most of the readers here. Do translate the noisy melodies. You're gonna love the lyrics.
Capovilla and partners screams and rocks the contemporary dilemmas. He's an Italian Poet. God bless him.
