Under the leafy canopy of the centuries-old chestnut trees of Fosdinovo, the story of Antigone comes back to life, not as an ancient tragedy, but as a rebellion that is still relevant today. Ascanio Celestini, with his unmistakable storytelling style, gives voice to the torments and courage of the mythological figure, while Gianluca Casadei's accordion weaves a soundscape of melancholy and hope. The reading of 'Le Nozze di Antigone' at the Festival della Resistenza 'Fino al cuore della rivolta' thus becomes a bridge between past and present, where a woman's obstinacy in the face of power mirrors the struggles of the partisans, an invitation never to forget the value of justice and civil disobedience.
