Saturday, August 8: The Seeds of Madness - Commedia dell'arte
Set in the psychedelic '70s, “The Seeds of Madness” is an ironic show with a fast-paced rhythm and full of plot twists where, in a crescendo of intrigues and mysteries, a story comes to life balancing between reality and fantasy, nightmare and dream.
An intriguing challenge that has catapulted the work of Eugene Labiche “L’affaire de rue de Lourcine” from the bourgeois salons of Paris to the post-Beatles Venice. And indeed, there are many analogies between vaudeville and Commedia dell'arte: first of all the characters, with their traits and masks, the criticism directed at a certain social class, the “asides” to the audience, and above all the situational comedy.
Artistic direction: Giovanni Giusto
