“LE STREGHE DI MONTENERODOMO”
(The Witches of Montenerodomo)
Radio Drama in Abruzzese Dialect
After a tale by Monica Miuccio (Keltia Ed. - 1996)
LANGUAGE:
There are about 31 regional dialects in Italy. It is estimated that 32% of the population speaks both Italian and dialects, and 14% speaks only dialect. Abruzzese is one of the most musical dialect and this is the reason why we decided to adopt it for this production, as Monica is from Abruzzo.
In terms of physical geography, Abruzzo is a region of Central Italy. However it may be considered part of Southern Italy because of the historic association with the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
Our story takes place in a tiny rural village of this Italian region.
SYNOPSIS:
"Members of an archaic community embody their fears of natural calamities in evil supernatural, ghostly creatures that are believed to be the manifestation of Devil., Witches.
Their superstitions are not fueled by mere ignorance but are rooted in pre-Christian beliefs -preserved by their isolation- that now live side by side with the Word of Gospel. The line between prayers and exorcisms is very thin and can be crossed by a wise elderly woman who is known to have the basic knowledge of spells, charms, rituals, evil-eye and amulet crafting, and the Sorceress who practices the more powerful white and black magic.
The blend of religion and magic is accepted in a communal sense of unity and brotherhood, marking the day-to-day life. Villagers finally fight against the Witches relying on each other in a circle of strength. They defeat Demons in the very same moment they overcome fear and even when the Witches have gone, so strong is their belief in their actions that it shapes history to their creed, turning reality into legend." (Monica Miuccio)
