Là dove finisce il buio — Theatre performance at Teatro San Carlo

Theatre and memory in Caravaggio

On the eve of the April 25th celebrations, the Teatro San Carlo in Caravaggio, in the province of Bergamo, presents a thought-provoking performance: Là dove finisce il buio, part of the theatre season curated by deSidera Teatro. It is a work that speaks of the Resistance, but above all of courage and personal choices in difficult times.

The story of two priests in the war

At the center of the narrative are two priests from Bergamo, Don Bepo Vavassori and Don Antonio Seghezzi, and their commitment alongside soldiers and young people during World War II. Don Seghezzi was imprisoned, condemned, and deported to Dachau, where he died shortly after the camp's liberation in 1945. Two figures whose beatification causes are still ongoing, told here in a theatrical and civic context.

The deSidera touch

The performance is written by Marialuisa Miraglia, directed and performed by Stefano Panzeri, with original guitar music by Simone Riva. The production is by deSidera / Teatro de Gli Incamminati, with co-production by the Fondazione Adriano Bernareggi and support from the Municipality of Osio Sotto, under the patronage of the Diocese of Bergamo.

An evening of free admission

The event, with free admission and prior booking, confirms the role of the Teatro San Carlo as a cultural hub for Caravaggio and the Bassa Bergamasca region, capable of staging important themes with accessible and high-quality language.
