If you want to Cilea deal with the case of the theater must go back a few years, just to 2004.
time myself had tried to expose what are the technical requirements, artistic, cultural and especially management to make Chile (along with a considerable number of other factors) the hub of a veritable industry culture that could (and can) make a big push towards a positive change to the growth of this battered city.
But first things first: the Teatro Cilea until the advent of the mayor Falcomatà (early nineties) was managed by private individuals, who had been the site of disparate initiatives - Mainly
film - released to the sound of billions, it was reopened in the nineties with a series of initiatives of the highest caliber. Overcome the problems of viability and restructuring, the current mayor took office Dr. Joseph Scopelliti, we created a charter and a constitution, and the city council passed a resolution for the creation of a foundation that would manage and run the theater to highest level.
Despite several reminders, actions of the minority council, my commitment and some other sporadic voice in organizing conferences, debates, conventions, even the press (at my expense) than 10,000 leaflets distributed in a gazebo in Piazza San Giorgio and before the 2004 season, where I tried to explain what it meant to create a foundation, (we speak of opera and symphonic foundations, corporations special so-called "operation of law" with respect to normal private foundations), as does the Italian theater system, which could be the way to enter a virtuous circle earned funding from all levels (especially the Ministry of Cultural Heritage), is structured like a board of directors , what is the educational sector, artistic, administrative, the figure of the superintendent, all the merchandising, but also the fact that the theater could be a center of production and training of all trying to exploit local resources (not only of course) and export opportunities in the cultural industry sector. All this would have meant an economy characterized by great management, transparency and rigor in the artistic choices, with the processes of acculturation and involvement of land and employment opportunities of artistic personnel, skilled workers, technicians and all its offshoots, which produces a theater. (Recall that sectors are normally opera and symphony, dance, drama and musicals), with the aim also to enliven the area permanently, even in the province. Despite repeated calls and reminders from Mr. Mayor not only has never enforced the resolution providing for the foundation, but wanted to remain an obscure private persons and general management of prestigious hotel, in fact relegated to a marginal status in terms of competitiveness, placement in a system that could bring (primary and essential objective rationally in a theater complex) a balance sheet assets, such a system, investing resources, acquire credits c / o the appropriate bodies. None of this, the artistic direction was entrusted to the consultants and the costs are weighed down mostly on the municipal coffers, although it must be said that the region has approved loans for the entire activity in Chile.
In the field of prose Dr. Glejeses, former artistic director of the theater building (private initiative) of Croton, take the "advice" of Chile, to the city proposing the declared intention of turning them into "a permanent theater" . Organization of courses, a calendar of events, in the meantime had developed a proposal for a regional law because the permanent theater of Crotone was recognized half a million (!) Euro a year for his theatrical activities.
The law was passed, but to make a "copy / paste" was achieved (promoter of the "brilliant" Eye) the lg. 3 / 2004, or the law on regional theater in Calabria.
In fact, Dr. Glejeses with this law has affirmed its primacy in Calabria (and others) supported by the municipality of Reggio and a Cilea available has been able to acquire large loans c / or all other institutions, creating circuitry of its products and exchanges with other Italian obtaining theater today (as indicated on the website of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage) 602 000 € only from this institution while it collects Cilea well ... O (Zero). Apart from the funds of the municipality and the province of Crotone, of Regional Law 3 / 2004, coming to Manage Quirino in Rome and so on and so forth. Nothing to complain, all legal and I would say from the standpoint of management genius. So brilliant that I in 2004 in response to a series of attacks suggested that takes the artistic direction of Chile within the foundation. Obviously this was not possible because of the impossibility, by law, to take over more of a theatrical institution, and everyway. for the obstinacy of our directors who have continued undeterred to invest substantial capital grant drawn from municipal funds (supplemented by other monies paid by citizens for tickets).
so happens that people like Luca Barbareschi, which, having hosted and paid handsomely with an encore "will allow to treat us like we had the nose ring urging the private management (possibly to his friend plurigestore Glejeses) given the inability of management policy. A paradox, in fact Barbareschi (Bondi and the Minister) does not care about the cut of Chile since the FUS (single fund of entertainment, that were created) because Decree 136 is better to kill the small fish, the theaters that do not have already recognized, as well as the myriad of companies show Tufting our country and who are also the mirror. Theater companies in which we will never see Carlucci and Barbaresco. In the long run, will only show the official regime, especially the bland TV shows that have harmful cultural patterns and vulgar. On the other hand, what can we expect from a government that, instead of promoting the understanding and give them opportunities, suggests graduates to do the painters? (See the definition of Brunetta: cultural junk)
reggini the actors, or aspiring, in 2004 rowed against my perspective, however, favorable to them (according to the principles identified by Nicholas-or council of Reggio enemies if same-), or someone hoping for a bit part in a plate of pasta and beans by the municipality and Glejeses, a few weeks ago, preserving the good faith of any of the signatories wrote a letter- against Glejeses accusing him of failing to keep promises and have pushed Chile to be an empty-but then, this is the case of Battle and Miseferi-content with the pasta and beans above, making the host from Glejeses 3 January to the Apollo Theater in Croton.
Chile Today, with this administration, in fact, as has the cultural primacy Catanzaro in Calabria and stands as a candidate for European Capital of Culture for 2019, it is a "shell" bankrupt: after eight years Management Scopelliti, can not take a penny from the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and still allows the municipality to organize "Out Program" to spectators zero. Money thrown from the window as a poor father is in the middle of the road after twenty years of work at county.
So Ferruccio Ferrante statements of 31 January the newspaper will reflect the condition of empty box and I would say they are also far-sighted, partisan. The meaning is: we entrust management in Chile at the Teatro Stabile di Calabria and you're done. Too bad that the credit will always go to him and not to Chile, that a true school for actors and so there will never be feasible within the Cilea of \u200b\u200bReggio Calabria, true that a company was born in Reggio Calabria there never will be.
What to produce and distribute, Circuit, exchange (and earned) will always be the permanent theater of Calabria for drama (and managers in other sectors), not the foundation Cilea. The important thing is that perpetrated the "bread and Circensis" the "divide and conquer" by our directors, who have invested in all - in the absence of cultural and youth policy - unless the growing and producing the intelligence of the above territory, and above all let them acquire the necessary credits.
A further confirmation? Just go and see who has organized the "Mediterranean Experiences" these days in Reggio: The Association of Mediterranean Theatre of Rome, enrolled in the register of associations of the town of Rome.
The sixth edition of the Reggio Film Fest?: Minerva Pictures association "E20" of Rome (same owner, and also unusual that two films screened the detainees have been produced with funding by the Directorate of social policies RC).
The Reggio Top Jazz?: The ass. Cult. Jonica (but the prefix is \u200b\u200balways 06, and never a musician Reggina-as most of the tribal-anthropomorphic beings - could be linked to metaphysical entities).
Needless to continue ... we would find, mostly, always prefixes other than the 0965 ..
A sort of settlement - accomplices local administrators - the only chance for the future of this city: the production, use, critical consumption, the export of intangibles that may be supplied in the territory and economy producing sectors, stimulating cultural tourism and educational and above all the creative (and economy) and awe of many young people resigned to a passive consumption. It is not only involve and enhance the "Genius Loci"-a project because land can and should involve external expertise that can be a factor growth-but the merits of the investment and subsequent claims must fall within the territory and its citizens, their associations, the assets of the municipality, which must be jealous and proud, "Who is in Reggio (Calabria and all) should not come to plunder, but to leave something, if you put that into your head the directors present and future of this city and this region.
Music, Film / Video, Dance, Theatre, Photography, Literature, Journalism, Theatre, Poetry, visual and plastic arts, architecture, with all possible individual sectors (and so on and so forth), the 'constant entertainment districts, in discomfort, in the margins may be a factor for human growth and economic extraordinary, the only alternative to bankruptcy in the field of material production, and a great tourist attraction.
But the recognition of credits from all institutions, from districts to the European community, it must be for the benefit of the territory and not outsiders. Who comes here to work with the support of local government knows that when the calls come out regional common single fund from the POR to the regional law on the theater (for the period 2008/10 are expected ca. Six and a half million euro) When you contact the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, and when operating in the future will be recognized cheap credits and curriculum.
We create professional bodies, a bag of cultural production land that can not be placed on any market with the following awards and the ability to operate and grow artistically, professionally and economically.
will say that the usual huge investments attract tourism and grow the city's image. But who shall monitor and evaluate the results of each investment?
Today the European Community has imposed strict guidelines on this issue in any project for funding, ed'altronde various operators in the hotel accommodation in short periods of time complaining about a concentration of tourist activity, so there is behind the alibi of the tourist attraction, or worse, the image (we should open another chapter in the appearance of towns and sites today preposterous ).
All the above has absolute value also with regard to each of the Syracuse theater, while acknowledging the good intentions on the cultural and the foresight of Professor. Renato Nicolini.
In conclusion, it is necessary, urgent, the launch of the foundation Cilea (within which we can assume a network of theaters that will embrace the Syracuse as a cultural space for all global satellite operators) that the municipality is not a primary shuttle, which is why around a table outside political interests, but solely in the interests of the city and culture. Remember that without a state registry by the precise legal point of view and a developed structure and management skills, which certainly can not be attributed to a private individual, the Teatro Comunale Cilea is intended to close.
