Antinoo for ever
So, yesterday when I was randomly zapping through the TV channels, I happened to find the theatrical piece of Memoirs of Hadrian by Mario Scaparro, featuring the epic Giorgio Albertazzi as Hadrian.
The whole thing was set in Villa Adriana, and that hit the spot.
For fuck's sake guys, I read the book and I found it intriguing but way too complicated to properly appreciate it (it's French literature, after all XD), but during the piece I did nothing but cry all the time ;_;
Reading something and hearing that same something declaimed as the poetry it is is something absolutely different!
One of the highest moment, visually speaking, was the solitary dance of Antinoo, played by the wonderful Giacomo Luci, who just had the perfect body and face to give flesh to the beautiful Bithynian boy.
I was lucky, and on Youtube I found the same coreography of the show played by this young dancer, Illya Kun; the view is not the greatest, but at least you can be amazed by the beauty of the human body as I did:
This show really inspired me... It's like getting an old wound reopen, in a good way.
I may try to draw something on this theme again, now that I have that marvellous Antinoo as a reference...
