The Kunto of
Directed by Roberto Tessari
with Antonio Damasco
A work of individual and collective narration: Life and Death, incestuous brothers, sons of an infection creating and matching them in an old story, with the sound support of Neapolitan, such a corporeal dialect. From the voice of
Greek-speaking narrators, until the reinvention of Professor Roberto Tessari, the two parties of this diptych can be both, recovery and innovation.
“ ReMiseriaRe” and “The Taranta’s bite” are stories of initiation, the transition from patriarchal universe to adulthood, when we have to know the pain shocking our affections, from the mysterious disappearance of an aunt to the revelation of the tarantula bite. A poisonous contagion that symbolically let come out unconscious impulses, a contagion that infects life, a poison of love, not of death, a liberation from a state of social, cultural and sexual constraint.
“The Godmother Death” is a primitive attempt to exorcise death, a story from Salento common to many Italian regions, in which Death is guarantor for life.
