Clare of God

Assisi (PG) - Clare of God

Assisi, Teatro Metastasio

Throughout the 2014 stage musical "Chiara of God."

The show completely dedicated to the life and the life of St. Clare next to St. Francis is written and directed by Carlo Tedeschi, who will use the historical Franciscan Sources, brings out the humanity and the relevance of these two young people, an example for the kids today despite the passage of eight centuries.

In its reissue new effects through the viewer will be able to see Clare and Francis in the places where they lived. These choices make the production capable of actualizing the mysticism and at the same time the concrete of the first woman in the history of the Church that has dictated the rule of their order. Flash back, a style of acting completely unique, original music and songs for a film directed almost make the highly evocative musical and engaging.

The Plot:

In an old scene will have the task to explain the need to dedicate a show in Santa Clara. It is a very beautiful figure, timeless and ageless and that only at the end of the show will reveal the mystery. Just this figure, in the words of our Pope John Paul II explains that "it is really difficult to separate these two names, Francis and Clare." He defines them as "phenomena", "legends". He explains that "there is something between them so deep that it can not be understood except by the criteria of Franciscan spirituality, Christian, evangelical." But it also presents them as a reality of the matter, because "they were persons, bodies." "Of them - continued the Pope - is the way in which Francis saw his sister, the way in which he embraced Christ. He saw himself in the image of her, the bride of Christ, the mystical bride with whom he was forming his Holiness. "

Before revealing the mystery of the figure of the old man, at the end of the show, still echo the words of the Pope calls "divine legend beside that of Clare Francis," but adds:
"We need to rediscover in our age the figure of Santa Chiara, rediscover that charisma, vocation, rediscover the divine legend of Francis and Clare, because it is necessary for the life of the Church."


The show begins with Clare dying around her weeping sisters. Sign Sister Agnes, sister even meat, which comes from another convent, Sister Philippa, Sister Amata and the other one after the other are doing their utmost to tell the greatness and beauty of this woman and read his will. Clare embraces her sister Agnes and tells her not to cry because soon she will come to the Lord and, exhausted, asks for "a cerasa," a cherry. She used to fasting, to a life of penance, surprisingly asked, with extraordinary humanity, something for themselves. Agnes sends a hurried sister in the cloister, out of desperation rather than conviction, because it is August and it is the season of cherries. In the few minutes that separate this request for the return of the sister Clare, who miraculously comes with a cherry in her fingers, the first and the second half of the show and the most touching and extraordinary events of his life: resurface images of the mother, herself at six, nine and fifteen years, meeting with Francis, running away from home, cutting hair for his consecration to the Lord and obedience to Francis.

In fact, Chiara does not convert through Christ, but, amazingly, he devoted himself to the Lord through the Holy brother that she will choose as a father to his death.
She sees herself as the Mother Abbess in washing the feet of her sisters, in tears and laceration of his spiritual growth, in its desire to be recognized in law to total poverty, waiting for the papal bull endorsements that this right to his rule she, the first woman in history, has written.

The bubble will not arrive until the day before his death.

Relive the lessons of spirituality and the death of Francis, she sees herself stop the violence and savagery of the Saracens with the monstrance containing the consecrated Host. She sees Christmas Eve when she was left alone in the dormitory of San Damiano, where he lived all his life, and overcome the temptations of the devil had appeared in the guise of a child, the Lord miraculously in contact with the Basilica of San Francesco, so that can follow the celebration.
At the time of the death of Clare, to be sure that staff have the true life after death and to respect the faith and holiness of this extraordinary woman, I dared to represent the soul leaving the body and running to meet God; And it is with this that the show ends in pure mysticism of Clare and in his contemplation to the total detachment from earthly life, has finally come to an epilogue of eternal reality.

Every Saturday night at 21:30, and all day on request for groups as well as the musical in two acts by two hours is a musical in one act by 60 minutes.
