Premiere of Longino Santa Fescia”: comedy with Italian flair in Bamberg!
The anticipation for the Italian theater in the KUFA Bamberg is increasing! The new play “Longino Santa Fescia” will celebrate its premiere on July 10th and 11th, 2025. The whole thing is staged by the talented Italian theater group Teatralia. This piece forms the third part of a trilogy that began with “Inferno” (2023) and “Purgatorio” (2024) and now offers a refreshing perspective on the idea of paradise on earth. Written and directed by Stefano Giannascoli, the performance promises a successful mix of comic scenes and profound philosophical reflections.
Viewers can look forward to a varied program that not only addresses the topics of life and love, but also questions conventions. The narrative levels are also complex: the story is about Longino, who goes in search of his fate, while everyday scenes are interwoven with dreamy elements. The whole thing is performed in Italian, but there are German surtitles so that everyone can get excited. On July 11th, the experience will be rounded off with an “Italodisco” party, to which theatergoers are invited free of charge, while external guests will be admitted for just 3 euros.
Premiere and ticket details
Both performances start at 7:30 p.m. at KUFA Bamberg, Ohmstraße 3, 96050 Bamberg. The admission prices are also attractive: the regular price is 18 euros, the reduced price is 12 euros and for members of mosaico italiano it is only 8 euros. Tickets are available online so theater fans can quickly secure their seats. More information and online booking can be found on the [KUFA Bamberg] website (https://www.kufa-bamberg.de/veranstaltugen/longino-santa-fescia-mit-deutschen-uebertitlen/).
Cultural influences and inspiration
The inspiration for “Longino Santa Fescia” is no coincidence: it is directly based on Dante’s “Divine Comedy”. Like Montesano, who in his analysis of Dante's characters affirms that all human impulses such as love, hate and the insatiable thirst for life are present in us, Giannascoli also reflects these aspects in his work. The play challenges viewers to reflect on the dark side of human nature and brings Dante's vision into the present day. Questions about freedom and justice are raised that are timelessly relevant.
So, grab your tickets and immerse yourself in the multifaceted world of Italian theater. Let yourself be inspired by the mixture of comedy, social criticism and philosophical depth! The evening is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
