“It is great when, in the simplicity of scenic gesture, theatre succeeds in condensing and reproducing the sense of an entire historic moment, when it manages to read that moment profoundly and to reproduce it in its most profound, authentic, lacerating and tragic way.”
Paolo Randazzo – Dramma.itCOME UN GRANELLO DI SABBIA
"Great! A performance of rare quality, really good actor, beautiful dramaturgical structure (...). An intense interpretative energy that enchanted the audience (...), the final applause was very long, repeated, and full of enthusiasm that comes with the joy of events that transmit a special energy."
Valeria Ottolenghi - Gazzetta di ParmaUN'ALTRA ILIADE. UN RACCONTO INCALZANTE
“(…) the path of the civil and human tension has been chosen effectively, able to deeply touch and fully involve the audience and to tell the extreme dignity of Gulotta, almost enabling its tangibility. ”
Vincenzo Bonaventura – Gazzetta del sudCOME UN GRANELLO DI SABBIA. D’ORO
“It is a terrible story of Kafkaesque implications that Salvatore Arena tells in the Laudamo Hall of Messina, demonstrating a determination that is congenial to him in a monologue with infinite vocal tones (...)”
Gigi Giacobbe –Sipario.itCOME UN GRANELLO DI SABBIA
"Every now and then, one can watch performances that have a necessary raison d’être, plays that tell stories without rhetoric, without trying at all costs to seduce the audience, that keep us awake, make us reflect and above all have a soul (…), performances that gift us with true 'theatre moments' "
Marco Menini - Krapp's last postUN GRANELLO DI SABBIA GRANDE COME UN MACIGNO
"Arena tells everything with a controlled passion, but with an infallible method that captures the audience inside that black spiral. (...) The story avoids the systematic pathos and lets reason work while the story unfolds and the puzzle comes together."
Gianfranco Capitta - Il Manifesto'70 VOLTE SUD, IN SCENA I MISTERI DELLA CALABRIA
"In Italy, there are stories that are forgotten, suffocated, erased (...). A very delicate and tough performance that denunciates historical truths, '70voltesud takes place in the stage body of the actor who often throws himself into a polyphony of voices, allowing the chorus of experiences to appear in the narrated events."
