The appointments
Five shows on the bill:
SUPERSTORIES
Friday 24 May, 7.30pm
show of the Pre-adolescent courses #1 and #2 (11/13 years)
Two groups of young actresses and actors, two shows, an evening to listen to the true versions of how some of the most well-known fairy tales of classical literature went: Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, Peter Pan and Hook – and many others.
TODAY’S WARRIORS
Friday 31 May, 8.30pm
show of the course Adolescents #1 (14/19 years old)
The Iliad: we all know it, it is a very ancient story, far from us, which talks about wars, violence, Gods and Demigods with extraordinary powers, who fight with men. What does this have to do with us? With today’s young teenagers? A game of reflections and dialogues between the myth and the present, to give a say to the boys and girls of our time.
AMBOR, ROMB, BRAMO!
Tuesday 4 June, 8.30pm
Brook adult course show
A shadow appears in the theater; it’s the shadow of what? It seems like she doesn’t know either. Can she have an identity of her own? Untied from the real object that projects it? Can she have feelings, feel confused, lost, searching for herself? Accepting the metamorphosis, here’s the secret: everything changes, evolves, rolls off the track. There is no need to resist!
INSTANTHEATER
Wednesday 5 June, 8.30pm
show of the Strehler adult course
The memory! Nightmare for students and actors, who have to memorize pages and pages for exams – and the part for the shows.
This evening, we will witness snapshots of theatre: from Greek tragedy to contemporary dramaturgy, to give help to a no longer-adolescent-student, the night before her exam…
LIKE DRAGONS ON THE ROOFS
Saturday 22 June, 7.30pm
show of the Bausch adult course
A group of teenagers find themselves on the roof of a building, a large terrace full of forgotten or hidden junk. Each of them brings their own story and, together, they create a bigger one, which speaks of everyone – and, right on that roof, a stage between heaven and earth, they put it on stage: the strength of the theater lies in the beauty of the metaphors that creates.
Show also recommended for an audience of girls and boys aged 12/13 years
