Last appointments of the www.Shakespeare festival
with two productions by Fatti d’Arte
The tenth edition of www.Shakespeare – Week with William Shakespearea festival created and directed by Company Art Facts winner of the public notice ‘Bitonto city of festivals 2023’ – Festival Network promoted by Municipality of Bitonto. The Traetta Theatre of Bitonto will host, from Friday 10th to Sunday 12 Maytwo productions by the Bitontina company: Willy’s and Vagina’s Monologuesa show that experiments with a connection between the sensitivity of Shakespearean heroines and the stories of the famous text by the American author Eve Ensler The Vagina Monologues; And Shake Your Booty with Antonio Stornaioloin which the music and sound of the Seventies will be the pretext to tell – with irony – the troubled life of the most famous playwright in the world.
Double appointment, therefore, Friday 10th And Saturday 11 May9.00 pm, with Willy’s and Vagina’s Monologues. Shakespeare anticipates his times, brings humanity onto the stage and translates the destinies of some of his heroines into reality; Often, however, his writings are permeated with the misogyny typical of his time, which is not far from the patriarchal vision of some of our ‘worlds’. This unbalanced vision between Man and Woman is translated into the title chosen for the Compagnia Fatti d’Arte show; the term ‘Willy’ gathers the double meaning of abbreviation of Shakespeare’s first name and of male phallus, while Vagina indicates the sexual specificity of the woman and represents the protagonist of Ensler’s most famous text. In a historical period like this, in which women still struggle to affirm their dignity and defend their rights, Fatti d’Arte feels the duty to break some taboos to reach an awareness: the vagina is the bearer of life, but also of death if it is “used” without consent; she is a harbinger of joy but also of pain when she is ‘abused’.
The closing of the festival is entrusted, Sunday 12 May, at 6:00 pm, at the show Shake You Booty. The matrix of the show is the seventies. The years of student revolts, of freedom of thought, of transgressions. The years of pop music, of flower children, of unexpressed realities in which new ideals emerge from a tangle of women and men whose thoughts emerge from a scenario that Shakespeare would have recited. Shake Your bootythe new production Fatti d’Arte with the participation of Antonio Stornaiolo, thanks to the sound borrowed from the Seventies, ironically tells the troubled experience of the most famous playwright in the world through his ‘transgressive’ characters. The psychedelic melody of transgression will lead the unfortunate spectator to the knowledge of archetypal themes such as love, life and death thanks to the satirical flights of fancy starting from the works A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Antony and Cleopatra, As you like, Henry IV And The storm. A whirlwind of words and actions that will make you smile and reflect at the same time.
