Portrait of the island in “The Vanished Dream” by writer and poet Lussurgiu Antonio Cossu, who becomes a show, enhanced by the striking polyphony de Su Cuncordu Lussurzesu, the mise en scène of the Theatre of the Sign, Saturday, 8 September at 21.30 in the former barracks of the Carabinieri (Via Roma 30) in St. Helens for the final round with “Summer Stages”, to seal the festival of Theatre and Music for the City of Cagliari Quartu edited by the company in the rich and varied program of “Quartu colors the summer. ” The narrator of Stephen Ledda (who also written and directed) is combined with notes and chords of the guitar (and effects) by Andrea Congia and sound plots of Su Cuncordu in first-person account of a real story (but transfigured and transferred in the imaginary country of Balonia) in which private interests and political passion are intertwined and opposed giving a vivid fresco of Sardinian society (and Italian) in the early sixties of the myth of progress and industrialization and future strategies of the Plan Rebirth on the one hand and on the other an emerging sensitivity to the environment and traditions, economy and culture of the places.

The key question – who is the water (the subtitle of piéce) – becomes the central point of a debate within the country up to the confrontation: the then newly elected mayor looking to the future of the community and in particular to the needs of farmers and shepherds, seeking to preserve the availability of all the precious resource in the face of temptation to ease speculation that in the face of apparent immediate benefits impoverished Balonia deprive it of its sources. “The Dream Vanished” or the end of the illusions about human nature, gives way to a pragmatic awareness that does not give to stigmatize certain nonchalance of the corridors of power and the guilty inattention to the rights of citizens … while the flow of thoughts is tinged with emotion, it brings up memories and archaic song of metrics on Cuncordu, return the atmosphere and charm, some echo of everyday life in Montiferru.
