The discovery of a silent film censored by fascism for vilifying the state religion and lost for half a century is the thread along which Marcel Gonnet Wainmayer connects us to the spiritual values of Valdo da Lione, his cult, and his followers who, considered heretics, began to settle in the Piedmontese mountains of the Pellice valleys in the 11th century, creating what is today the oldest functioning Protestant Christian church.
The Angrogna Theatre Group, on tour with its traditional songs between Uruguay and Argentina, brings to the Waldensians of the South American metropolises and the remote pueblos of the pampas the epic of their ancestors, from the genocide of the Piedmont Easters of the 600th century, when Waldo's followers, always persecuted, were barbarically decimated and the few survivors finally expelled, up to the Glorious Repatriation and their return with weapons in hand.
