Teatro Petruzzelli

Mario Calabresi’s “Anni Settanta: Terrore e Diritti” offers a thoughtful look at Italy’s turbulent 1970s, blending theatrical storytelling with real testimonies and archival footage. You’ll encounter a mix of personal and historical perspectives that reveal both the violence of the era and the social progress that emerged alongside it. The project is shaped by historians and family stories, giving it a grounded, intimate feel. It’s a chance to engage with a complex decade through a carefully crafted narrative. The production balances moments of tension with reflections on civil rights, inviting you to consider how conflict and change often go hand in hand. The direction by Bruno Fornasari helps keep the story focused and compelling, making it accessible even if you’re new to this period. Whether you’re interested in history, politics, or theatre, you’ll find something that resonates. It’s an event that encourages quiet reflection as much as it does awareness of a pivotal time.
