The Good Person of Szechwan by Brecht - Monica Guerritore

With The Good Person of Szechwan by Brecht, Monica Guerritore stages a production that is at once a tribute to her master Giorgio Strehler and a personal, powerful, and contemporary reinterpretation. It is a bitter parable of a world in which goodness seems to have no place unless it is protected by the mask of severity. Guerritore takes on the double challenge of directing and acting, choosing to preserve the epic force of Strehler’s legendary production without falling into imitation. Her direction retains iconic elements—such as the revolving stage and symbolic lighting alternating between sun and moon—but streamlines the duration and introduces new solutions, like a human chain of solidarity closing the performance instead of the traditional suspended ending. It is a signal addressed to the present: if the gods will not help us, hope can only arise from human community. As an actress, Guerritore powerfully embodies the fragility of Shen Te and the calculating coldness of Shui-Ta. The transformation is striking: from the warm, gentle voice of the young woman to the deep, almost baritone tone of the man; from tender, curved gestures to a rigid, authoritarian posture. The audience is both surprised and captivated by this metamorphosis, which makes tangible the tension between good and evil, between altruism and survival. With this production, Monica Guerritore not only renews the memory of a classic but also confirms herself as one of the most rigorous and visionary performers of the Italian stage, able to combine fidelity to tradition with the courage of invention. 📷 Facebook La anima Buona Di Sezuan
