Sandro Veronesi- Don't Tell
In Italian with English supertitles
The monologue is inspired by the order – NON DIRLO (Do Not Tell) – that Jesus gives the faithful following his every miracle. The Gospel of Mark is the Gospel of action, it’s the first, the shortest, the most impenetrable, the one in which the secret is not revealed at the end. Sandro Veronesi presents its text to the audience in all its vibrant contemporaneity.
