Marco Filiberti(II)

Born in Milan and living in his adoptive land of Tuscany, Marco Filiberti is a playwright, theatre and film director, actor, essayist and fiction writer. His films, Adored: Diary of a Porn Star (2003), David's Birthday (2009) and Cain (2014) were presented as part of the Official Selection in international festivals such as Berlin, Los Angeles and Venice. His work as a film director is the subject of a volume of essays, Il Mélo Ritrovato (De Luca Editori D'Arte, 2009). The turning point for Filiberti's activity as theatre director came in 2012, when he firmly placed at the centre of his reflection the dissolution of archetypes in the 'forest dark' of modernity. In 2013, in the Val d'Orcia, he founded Le Vie del Teatro in Terra di Siena, a specific project for the requalification of art centred on his vision of a "dramaturgy of ruinism". The impressive, visionary trilogy Il Pianto delle Muse (Conversation Pieces - Byron's Ruins - Il crepuscolo di Arcadia) - "a creation to be included in the number of true artistic events of total theatre" (Il Sole 24 ore) - was the subject of a prestigious volume published by Titivillus. In 2017 Filiberti presented Intorno a Don Carlos: prove d'autenticità, based on Schiller, also the subject of a Titivillus volume. In the same year, he embarked on a new and wide-ranging project dedicated to the Parsifal, while at the same time presenting at the Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte di Montepulciano (2018) a new version of his Conversation Pieces, based on George G. Byron's Cain and Manfred. 2020 saw the accomplishment of the new work of cinema, Parsifal.
