Hamlet Court of Comedy The November 23, 2007 was a Friday. At 21, the new hall began to invite friends and professionals for the inauguration. At the back of the stage there was a practice with a simple design: a watercolor painted on a heavy cloth which was to represent the castle of Elsinore in Denmark. The director Maurizio Sborgia greeted the audience and a few minutes later the Society of Gascoigne, a dozen actors in all, represented the Hamlet Court of Comedy.
Servants and magnificent of the Commedia dell'Arte went on stage with a Hamlet turned into an opera fun. Besides the masks (strictly leather wrought) typical of the Italian Commedia, Arlecchino and Pulcinella Coviello, with an explosive charge of comedy stormed the beautiful Abruzzo: King Claudius, King Hamlet's ghost (played by both Pescara Andrea Maria Costanzo) and the Speziale Zopito (played by Maurizio Sborgia).
After about two hours of jokes, laughter, and scenes that while not breaking the exhilarating atmosphere made us think about death, power and madness of the masters, the happy ending was followed by a disarming and touching monologue with Punch crown in hand, armed with wisdom, reflected on the status of masters and servants, rulers and subjects, tyrants and oppressed.
a trilogy of M The story continues in December 2007 with a trilogy of M, written and directed by Alessandro Mauri. The text has participated in several competitions and received two awards in 2006. He was represented for the first time here in the Little Theatre in Pescara Gascon.
The period was not the best: we were on the weekend before Christmas, the Pescaresi ran panting to buy gifts and they were the victims of distraction caused by the commitments holidays, so despite the 'mess' made in the newspapers to advertise the show, each replica granted an audience that was no more than 15 spectators. Better that way: the show seemed to be made for those few who go to the theater to come up with new and difficult thoughts designed to interpret what we saw and heard. The text was not easily digested, writer-director wanted to provoke, confuse, confront us in the extreme point of absurdity. The actors, Gloria Gulino and Loris Fabiani, have proved excellent interpretation of characters strongly disadvantaged. Three one act after another. The first two were long monologues. The third act was a box that appeared to be short, but not the explanation of the show. Of course, the author had warned us: his work was surreal, as if it was a Dali painting.
Tasting So here we are almost the polar opposite: you can finally eat! Here come the Masters Clown! Street Art Pescara proposing their show at the 'Small' in mid-January 2008 with four Replies concentrated in two days. I say 'eat', not only because the title evokes the thought of a meal, but also because this time the show was much more simple, clear and straightforward.
The text was not there, even the director. There were four clowns who made us do and laughs at the end the Fakir made us worry a bit '. The public was not the big events, but between adults and children, during the last reply, the one on Sunday afternoon, the room was full!
The show in past years has made the tour of Italy. After hundreds of performances in squares, streets, buskers festival, Teatro Comunale of other locations, Pescara has finally decided to represent him in a space play ... Of course, 'off' because a real theater Pescara did not have it.
And this time, finished the replicas, doubts that the audience had in mind were much simpler: we wondered if the nails of Fakir and glasses were real or made-up.
