Medea, un maggio di Pietro Frediani

1972, Italian. Directed by Paolo Benvenuti.

In the village of Buti, on Monte Pisano, oral tradition preserves the memory of a type of popular theater known as Maggio, which died out around 1952, the year of the death of one of its last directors, Angiòlo Bernardini, who passed away at the age of 82. The director, with the help of the old prompter, handwritten notes on the scripts, and the actors of yesteryear, now elderly, attempts to stage this theater again, recited and sung in octosyllabic quatrains.
