Gospel (Vangelo; 100 min)

Written and Directed by Pippo Delbono

 

Pippo Delbono has been experimenting on stage for many years now, exploring the fertile ground between public and personal, between autobiography and history, shaping works that stand out on the international scene for their originality.

 

Vangelo (Gospel) marks a further step along this path. It is a choral work, which began as a contemporary opera: it first took shape in Zagreb, performed by the orchestra, choir, dancers and actors at the Croatian National Theatre together with the acting company that has been working with Pippo Delbono for many years. It markedly reveals the memories of its Croatian performers who lived through the traumatic events of the war that reshaped the history, places and boundaries of their native land
