Massimo Recalcati returns to the TAM stage a year later with "Fratelli e sorelle"
Massimo Recalcati, one of Italy's most authoritative psychoanalysts, returns to the TAM with Fratelli e Sorelle (Brothers and Sisters), a performance that intertwines thought and theater to question the dark heart of family ties. Through an intense and profoundly human narrative, Recalcati explores the often conflictual dynamics between brothers and sisters: rivalry, envy, and the need for affirmation. Beginning with Cain's original act, the stage becomes a forum for reflection on what truly makes a fraternal bond vital—or destructive. Is it possible to imagine brotherhood beyond simple blood ties?
Program and cast
Teatro degli Arcimboldi di Milano
The Teatro degli Arcimboldi is a theatre and opera house in Milan which was built over a twenty-seven month period in anticipation of the closure and subsequent nearly three-year long renovation of Milan's La Scala opera house in December 2001. It is located 4.5 miles from the city centre in an abandoned Pirelli tire factory, in an area known as Bicocca.[1]
Designed by Vittorio Gregotti working with architects Mario Botta and Elisabetta Fabbri, the fan-shaped 2,375 seat auditorium, created on two levels, was planned to allow for the continuation of La Scala's 2001/2002 opera season and it was inaugurated with a performance of Verdi's La traviata on 19 January 2002.
An unfortunate accident closed the theatre for seventeen days in February 2001, but it reopened and became the La Scala company's venue until the renovated opera house reopened on its traditional day, 7 December, in 2004.
Performances of many different types of music are still given at the Arcimboldi.
