The following day, Monday 6 May at 7pm, in the spaces of the Officine Culturali urban laboratory we will continue with Shakespeare’s Human Library, an event included in the Galattica project, a “human” library that replaces the loan of books with the story of experiences. this year it is “Work and young people”. Those who animate the Human Libraries have experienced prejudice, social exclusion, experiences similar to the characters born from the Bard’s pen.
Also at the Officine Culturali, from 6 to 10 May (double shift at 7pm and 8.30pm) Fatti d’Arte opens the doors to a Shakespearean Escape Room in which spectators will be involved in a game to discover a Shakespeare-themed mystery.
On Wednesday 8 May at 8pm the Traetta Theater will host Shakespearean Visions of the gesture, the outcome of the workshop curated by Ezio Schiavulli and Sara Mitola of the Puglia International Dance Network and Shakespearian Visions of the word, the outcome of the workshop curated by the Fatti d’Arte company.
Also at the Traetta, two Fatti d’Arte productions will be staged in the last three days of the festival. On May 10th and 11th at 9pm it will be the turn of Willy’s and Vagina’s Monologues, a 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”, bringing into scene and defusing preconceptions linked to the theme of pain, anger and violence.
Sunday 12 May at 6pm, closing entrusted to Shake Your Booty with Antonio Stornaiolo, in which the music and sound of the Seventies will be the pretext to tell, with irony, the troubled experience of the most famous playwright in the world.
