14 years have passed since 'Confession of a former president who brought his country to the brink of crisis' and Davide Carnevali has decided to rewrite and readjust, in this new staging, his 2012 text. In 'The President' the boundary between confession, propaganda and entertainment continually blurs, arousing a kaleidoscope of sensations in the public: listening, fascination and suspicion.Filippo Nigro doesn't just play a former political leader: he plays the consensus mechanism itself.Every sentence seems calibrated, every pause studied, every fragility exhibited at the right time as part of the strategy.The relationship between the leader and his spectators is close.The lights often remain on, the public becomes people, they are dragged into the political discourse, forced to recognize how easy it is to be seduced by those who know how to speak well, by those who manage to transform rhetoric into intimacy.
