D ebutta with "No Swing" the theatrical season that the municipal authorities of Soverato, its commissioner for culture and artistic director Sonia Munizzi John Carpanzano variegatamene have wisely and set up.

The Red Badge of 2008-2009 is well known and said it was for the actor and Flavio Insinna. (Not to forget his sympathy and his literary notes in "Your Business" last year?)

Directed by Giampiero Solari, Insinna accompanied by a band of musicians will perform live on a platform rotating, we ran- call-a monologue of many voices, imitating with linguistic expressions, gestures, facial expressions, varied and different characters all exercising the role of the military. The barracks was located in northern Italy - Legnano-in, and stood between the soldiers and the soldiers Virgili Balloon and Marshal Bellini. The first two while avoiding the hard toil of the soldiers try to evidence be included in the marching band at the existing barracks. Balloon believing in friendship and solidarity of the body relies on Virgili Bellini to be presented to the sergeant who leads the band ... In Balloon straight line will never be reported as a violinist and a guitar, Virgili because everything wants to ingratiate himself all alone Marshal Bellini, without valid competitors. It succeeds well! Become outside-with the help of a friend who worked at the RAI in the music of Bellini-right arm, acting as producer and arranger of musical texts. A role that allows him to have allowed many to leave Legnano and return to his birthplace and residence-Rome-to play and run rather than duties and obligations office at the Ministry of Defence, pleasures and "issues sentimental "of personal and private relevance.

meanwhile ... Balloon from his friend tried various exercises and courses the hard life of the reserved military, attempts suicide and is therefore transferred to the military hospital in Rome.

All this does not cause a wrinkle in Virgili. Invited by Marshal Bellini to visit him on behalf of all his comrades in the name of their friendship, he went to Rome hospital but does not enter the ball room. Once again predominate in him, selfishness, indifference and a desire to be better and superior to the other at any cost, no rules, no morality without the courage of the responsibilities of work, just for interest.

The band of the barracks in Legnano meanwhile forge well enough, despite all the difficulties and patience volutaci in the tests which have served to bring together military / Italian citizens from all over the peninsula-island-including accents, traditions, intuitive abilities, ambitions, dreams and different cultures. So much so that the band gets the 'task of playing at the NATO base al'ambasciatore in front of Naples, the American consul and all the U.S. military present.

The emotion is so much agitation in the Marshal Bellini, because he wants to be ready at the event and make beautiful, beautiful, figure. Followed days of intense preparations, Virgili which the soldier is called to respond and perform all required music by Bellini. The purpose of Virgil and the usual. Do not miss the train of convenience, the comforts, privileges and freedoms that are always exceptions to the barracks, if not illusions.

The outcome of the evening at the NATO base is a time-after block of the band - a huge success, so that pushes the Marshal to issue a Bellini Virgili life lessons, on the strength and the will of the group, on the passion for things and the work that must be achieved through sacrifice and dignity ... but it's all vain! Virgili has another ambition to carry on, take the place of Marshal Bellini at the helm of the band. Makes all-out impossible to have him transferred to another position higher and away from Legnano, Milan. Bellini understands all the subtle, shrewd and shameless of Virgil becomes leader of the military band music but without the historical players, leaving the barracks to follow their true and authentic than the Director-Bellini-who finally restores the group include the deserving soldier Pallone.

The Swing Without Flavio Insinna, with authenticity and joy of a story with the "normal" life gives the military a lesson: The truth always comes to light at the end, loyalty is reestablished as justice. Virgili becomes the symbol of those who remain left to fend for himself, his cunning, his ego dreams ... however, the quality and sincerity of human souls continue to live and vibrate, in the everyday life of each day.
