Veniamoci incontro a teatro/ Sixth power

The stage of the theatre season of the Municipality of Lecce and Teatro Pubblico Pugliese "Veniamoci incontro a teatro" is at the Paisiello Theatre, where there is "Sesto potere", with Francesco Montanari and Cristiano Caccamo, written and directed by Davide Sacco. The subtitle "Birth of a democracy violated by hatred, money and revenge" tells a lot about that sixth power (after the fourth of the press and the fifth of television) that is more subtle and lower and concerns smartphones and social networks. A power that is often invisible and unknown and that is responsible for constant brainwashing. The protagonists are three guys who work for the right-wing party in a garage, creating fake news to manipulate the election campaign; on the last night, with the polls in their favour, a journalist causes the house of cards to collapse live, is thus personally attacked, covered in lies and finally suspended. A bitter examination of contemporary society.

Tickets from 8 to 15 euros. It is possible to buy a suspended ticket, which goes to associations, family homes and social cooperatives for those who cannot afford to go to the theatre.
