Maçalizi

Maçalizi is the Friulian title of Yasmina Reza’s comedy Le Dieu du carnage (God of Carnage), from which Roman Polanski based his film Carnage. The play recounts the confrontation/clash between two families in a bourgeois environment. Two couples meet in an ordinary living room to settle a violent quarrel between their children. Soon, this peacemaking encounter turns into an explosive clash. The tension is conveyed through the evolution of words. At the beginning, Italian, as an abstract language of convention, masks the most authentic and profound feelings, that gradually emerge with Friulian, which thus ends up proving to be the language of truth. The living room is recreated, in the centre, in a glass case/cage: the audience sits around watching the scene, like scholars in an anatomical theatre.
