Giuseppe
Bonifati in 2025 is featured in the docu-series Martin Scorsese Presents: The
Saints, dedicated to the lives of iconic religious figures. Bonifati plays
Brother Elias of Cortona in the episode about St. Francis of Assisi, which will
air on FOX Nation TV on April 4, 2025. Working on The Saints was a meaningful
experience," says Bonifati, "working with a top artistic team and
playing Friar Elias, one of St. Francis' most faithful companions, was both
challenging and fascinating. Shooting in Morocco offered intense and
captivating moments. I am happy to be part of this project and simply thrilled
to see my name next to that of Martin Scorsese, an absolute master of
cinema".
On working
with directors Ridley Scott (All the Money in the World) and Michael Mann
(Ferrari, as Giacomo Cuoghi, Enzo Ferrari's manager), he says: "Every
project is an opportunity to learn and grow, and I am curious to see what new
challenges the future holds for me. For example, I have heard that Mel Gibson
is going to shoot his next movie in Italy... maybe!
In 2025, he
will stage Paradise, the final chapter of his Dante trilogy, with a
site-specific production at the Copenhagen Planetarium. In parallel, he will
develop Artbulance 2.0, a traveling festival aboard an ambulance transformed
into a mini-theater. And while his Flying Theater at Billund Airport continues
to welcome thousands of spectators every week, 2025 will also mark the 15th
anniversary of the DOO Performing Arts Group, with which Bonifati has created
35 shows in 30 countries around the world, together with his partner in work
and life - Linda Sugataghy. Future projects include L'Ultimo Colpo, a work that
Bonifati has cherished for years and is finally ready to see the light of day:
"The text, inspired by the myth of the Accabadora and the theme of
euthanasia, has long been snubbed by Italian theaters. Now, however, it seems
that a major Roman company is interested in co-producing it. We hope to
'celebrate' it in the fall.
In 2024, he directed
Purgatorio - The Seven Deadly Sins, which followed Ed Elli A Me.
