To animate the piece, set in the ad-hoc exhibition “Scenes from the Archives”, co-produced by the Fondazione Banco di Napoli, two love stories that intertwine with the tragic events of the Republic in 1799. A dialogue impossible where two women claim their right to build an ideal state, based on the happiness of the body. For the occasion, Lisette and Serafina tell, in their own way, Utopia, the great protagonist of the eighteenth century Neapolitan. The city, in this century, is the subject of an actual write action of the territory and of life through the great works of Bourbon as the Hotel of the Poor, a veritable city within a city, the factory of San Leucio silk before industry Southern Italy, even through the prisons. During the five months of the Republic the great utopia is to reinvent the city by changing its laws, the lifestyle, even the place names on the basis of the ideals of the French Revolution, in order to make a place to cultivate the dream, or if we want the illusion of happiness on earth.
