Livorno 27 May 2024 – Ruffini with “Il babysitter” ai 4 mori, Herbert Ballerina debuts
After the extraordinary success of the podcast “The babysitter – When you become little you will understand” Paolo Ruffini arrives in the theater with the show of the same name. The debut will take place in Livorno, his hometown, on Friday 7 June at 9pm in the spaces of the Cinema Teatro 4 Mori.
What could happen if as Ruffini is about to begin his one-man show, he is interrupted by three children – Isabel Aversa, Lorenzo Pedrazzi and Leonardo Zambelli – who are lost?
The answer is simple: he should look after them, waiting for their parents to come pick them up! Here the Labronian showman will become an improvised babysitter and will find himself entertaining not only the public, but also the 3 little killjoys who are true forces of nature!
“Livorno – states Ruffini – is the place where I was born, but it is also the place where everything started. I wanted it to be like that for “The Babysitter” too.
The title says “When you become little you will understand”, well, returning to Livorno is like meeting my child self, perhaps while riding my bicycle on the Terrazza Mascagni: hugging him tightly and telling him that one day his dream of working in the theatre, on TV and it will happen at the cinema.
Furthermore, I chose to do it with Claudia Campolongo on the piano who, in addition to being a true Livornese, has also always been my traveling companion”.
But the surprises don’t end there! Herbert Ballerina will also be there to animate the spaces of the structure in via Pietro Tacca on Sunday 9 June at 9pm with his first theater show “Come una catapulta”, produced by Ruffini himself.
Everyone remembers the iconic expression of Ballerina in the role of Pino Cammino, a historic mask at the time of Herbert’s collaboration with Maccio Capatonda. No one, however, can speculate what happens in this performance. And rightly so. Because, perhaps, no one is ready to enter the world that Herbert invented for his stage debut. And so, among boxes of all sizes scattered on the stage and an inevitable bust of Fred Bongusto, Herbert opens our minds to topics such as Molise (which really exists!), couple tattoos, moving, the spotlight (or was it the reflections?), satanic architects, doctors and psychologists.
