Il costruttore Solness
Concluded
©Alessandro Serra
A masterpiece born from the maturity of Ibsen, it is the story of a man who wants to stop the endless passing of time, and have a new opportunity for happiness, but who remains a victim of his own ambition and sense of guilt.

Teatro Grassi
Solness, an elderly and successful construction entrepreneur, shows hostility towards the young, due to his fear of being superseded. The very young Hilde knocks on his door; she reminds him of a meeting and a promise that he made to her at the beginning of his success, that he would return at the height of his success. Solness does not remember and is tormented by the sense of guilt for an episode which is the origin of his social, professional and economic fortune, but also of the unhappiness between him and hiis wife. Hilde offers him a possible way to redeem himself...
"It is the story pf many assassins - explains Umberto Orsini, who plays the lead role -. Young people who kill the old by leading them to be young, and old people who kill themselves in the attempt to achieve the impossible youthful passion”.
"Solness feeds on the lives of the women that surround him – explains the director Alessandro Serra – but the young Hilde, who enters his life with a subtle and implacable energy, will be fatal and will accompany him, lovingly, right to the edge of the precipice.
Duration: One hour and 40 minutes without inteval
