Diego Fabbri – The Most Representative Author of the Theatre of Catholic Inspiration

Summary/Abstract: The playwright Diego Fabbri has a particular contribution on the development of the italian theater in the second half of the twentieth century. He treated the Catholic issues with demonstration methods, thereby creating a theatrical genre that has never existed before – the theater of Catholic inspiration. The drama "Processo a Jesu" represents an important moment in the evolution of Diego Fabbri's work following the procedural technique: tribunal, judges, and witnesses. The text is a relative formal category in the narrative conducting of facts and character conviction that symbolizes the negative valence, evil. Using certain expedients of narrative and epic theater, the author creates naturalist scenes through imitation. We notice how the author's Christian commitment is heading towards two different directions. The first reflects the problem of the organization of the Catholic Church, rather the conflict between the institutional historical aspect and meta-historical, supernatural aspect. The second direction develops the couple problems, highlighting its weaknesses and crises. The Gospel is the background of entire work, the characters drama being real, it is reflected and realized in everyday people's stories.
