The Musical ‘Cats’ lights up the Brecht Theatre in Perugia: a triumph of talent and passion
On June 30, 2024, the “Brecht” Theater in Perugia will be transformed into a stage for the famous musical “Cats”. This extraordinary event is the result of the collaboration between the students of the “Naturamente Danza” school in Perugia, a group of dance and musical enthusiasts aged between 9 and 60.
This explosive mix of talent, passion and dedication will come together to create a unique experience. The students worked hard to create costumes and sets faithful to the original ones of the London musical, demonstrating unparalleled commitment and dedication.
The artistic director of the show is Katherine Whittard, a member of the original cast of “Cats” at the New London Theater in 1992. Her experience and expertise have helped make this event an unmissable opportunity for all lovers of theater and dance.
“Cats” is one of the most famous musicals in the world, with a long history of success in terms of longevity, viewers and total box office receipts. Composed in 1981 by Andrew Lloyd Webber, the musical is based on Thomas Stearns Eliot’s work “The Book of Handy Cats”.
The “Naturamente Danza” school, directed by Nadia Giuliano, is committed not only to teaching dance, but also to the diffusion of its fundamental values: dance for all ages, for all levels of ability and for all body types . These principles guide the teachers’ daily work, with the aim of creating a harmonious and heterogeneous group.
The school also stands out for its attention to the teaching of musicals, a field in which it has obtained important recognition, such as second place in the national musical competition “Danza in Fiera” in Florence last February.
In conclusion, the event of June 30th at the Teatro “Brecht” in Perugia promises to be an unforgettable experience, uniting different generations through the art of dance and musical. An opportunity not to be missed for all lovers of theater and dance.
