Theatrical Play 'L'avucot delle cause perse'

An evening of dialect theater in the heart of the Asti region

In Incisa Scapaccino, a small town in the Province of Asti, Piedmont, popular theater becomes an occasion for celebration and gathering for the entire community. The star of the evening is 'L'avucot delle cause perse', a two-act comedy written by Alberto Rossini and performed by the Compagnia dei Viaggi-Attori, an amateur group that brings the lively and ironic spirit of the Piedmontese dialect tradition to the stage.

The Plot

At the center of the comedy is a modest provincial lawyer—disorganized and bumbling but with a heart of gold—who lives his life as a poor bachelor, almost in poverty, alongside a faithful housekeeper who has secretly loved him for years without being requited. The unexpected arrival of a young relative brings new vitality that will end up changing the life of the protagonist and all the characters revolving around him. A gallery of comic figures that offers the audience an ironic mirror of village life.

Theater and Solidarity

The evening is not just a moment of entertainment: it has a clear charitable purpose. All proceeds are donated to the Projeto Corumbà Onlus, the association that supports Father Pasquale Forin's mission in Mato Grosso, Brazil. Attending the show means combining the pleasure of a good comedy with a concrete gesture of support for an international solidarity project.

A Popular Asti Tradition

Dialect theater is one of the most authentic expressions of Piedmontese culture: amateur companies like the Viaggi-Attori keep the local language and humor alive, gathering audiences in the squares and halls of small towns. In Incisa Scapaccino, the performance is held under the Ala in Piazza Ferraro, a covered space that has always served as a backdrop for the town's most heartfelt events, confirming the strong bond between community theater and the social life of the Province of Asti.
