SYNOPSIS AND GUESTS: In 1969, a group of Friulian boys in Lignano took part in a football tournament organised by the Archdiocese of Udine. They called themselves the “Tupamaros”, inspired by the revolutionary spirit of the times. The camp director, who was also the referee, warned them: “With that name, as long as I’m refereeing, you’ll never win a game!” But did things really turn out that way? This performance is based on the story from Paolo Patui’s collection “Volevamo essere i Tupamaros e altri racconti di pallone” (“We Wanted to Be the Tupamaros and Other Football Stories”), translated into Friulian and adapted by the author himself. The piece is performed by actor and playwright Massimo Somaglino, with live music by Alessio Zoratto on double bass and Marco D’Orlando on drums.
