Sophocles’ The Bloodhounds will be the final merry outcome of the workshop Teatro delle Albe are conducting in several of the world’s “outskirts”: Scampia, the black neighbourhood of Chicago, Senegal, the French or Belgian banlieues. As in Scampia, the first approach with the local teenagers – about 50 Tunisian and Sicilian kids – will be on the traces of ancient Greek drama, with a grotesque and “satiric” comedy. The amazing Dancing Satyr recovered from the sea floor off the coast of Mazara del Vallo and now visible in the local Museum will provide a useful visual suggestion to reinfuse life into Sophocles’ sneering and melancholy satyrs – wild creatures, human but beastlike semi-Gods who will come to life with the energy, tongues and imagination of the Mazara youths.
