that's happened here

and I even ask myself

whether the Italian comrades'

critiques were really unfair.

one doesn't become a revolutionary

far away from revolutionary struggles.

The actors ! The actors !

Put on these red rags and wear

them like revolutionary bonnets

since you're the people of Paris!

and the people of Paris

must be armed!

Long live the people armed!

Long live the revolution!

We now begin our rendition

of "Danton's Death"

by Bchner.

Luigi will play Robespierre,

and all of us will play the people !

Long live the people!

String up the aristocrats!

Ready!

Curtain!

What's happening, citizens?

What else?

The droplets of blood

of August and September,

Have not sufficed to color

the people's cheeks red.

the guillotine is too slow!

We need a great shower!

can you hear the thunderclaps?

it's the cannons!

our wives,

our children,

are crying out for bread.

We want to feed them their fill

with the flesh of the aristocrats!

Death to everyone without

holes in their jackets!

in the name of the law...

what's the law?

the will of the people!

We are the people!

and we don't want any more damned law!

therefore, our will is law!

in the name of the law,

there is no more law.

Therefore, kill the bastards!

You know what's happening here?

The rebellion that has arisen in this

province must be crushed as soon as possible.

The Republic must defend itself

and defend its ideals.

and that duty falls upon

all citizens,

you understand.

Hold on a minute,

I'll translate that for the others.

- We don't want anything to do with it!

- We're foreigners!

We're Italians,

not Brazilians.

You are Italians when you're in Italy.

But in Brazil, you are Brazilians.

And you too have been called to duty.

An hour from now I will

take you to headquarters

and you will be assigned to

your regiments;

otherwise you will be treated

as deserters!

There's nothing we can do.

They're armed.

We have no choice.

I'd sooner die than give up Anarchy!

You're mad!

I won't fight because they

force me to!

Let's go back home!

- Let's stay!

- Yes, let's go home!

Hold on a moment, comrades.

Italy? why not?

Brazil? why not?

It doesn't matter where...

But not here.

not like this.

We don't belong here anymore.

we have other things to do.

Are you with me?

Yes or no?
