Borsellino

Author: GIACOMO ROSSETTO

Performer / Company: GIACOMO ROSSETTO - TEATRO BRESCI

Judge Paolo Borsellino, murdered by Cosa Nostra along with five agents of his escort in the massacre on Via d'Amelio, is considered one of the most important and prestigious figures in the fight against the mafia, together with his colleague and friend Giovanni Falcone.

It’s been 25 years since that damned 19th of July, the day of the massacre. The show is intended to tell the life of the magistrate Borsellino through the description of the man Paolo, a man all in one piece, a man who does not accept compromises, a man with strong moral rigor, a simple man become hero, whose work is not yet finished.

After the death of his friend and colleague Giovanni Falcone, courage is what drives, despite the fear, the judge Paolo Borsellino to do his duty. Of magistrate and man, because public and private are always contaminated in his life: the thoughts of the judge are reflected in those of the man and vice versa. It is a story of words, facts, hopes, disappointments, numbers. Numbers that tell the kg of TNT. Numbers that tell the convicted mafiosi. Numbers that tell lost friends.

Numbers that are big or small, but always important. It’s a story made of words and sounds, music and images. To keep fighting.
