Dresden Milena Velba

ZoeTeatro in Malacorte

Where are the actors after the show? remain trapped inside their costumes or rush to join the profiles of our crowded city? And the masks? The tricks, hats, wigs and costumes, they stay there in the darkness of the room, waiting for someone to give him back a bit 'light? Or is there a space, a place where they continue to gain attention and in some so, in so doing, continue to live? Maybe. Maybe for some remains part of something. An audience, sharing the game play, refers during the show, tensions, anxieties and joys consensus, over the representation inevitably crumbles into a thousand particles, a thousand people, each with their own testimony, mood, sensation. This, henceforth, the fragment will be individual they can relate to infinity. Of course staff, incomplete, in flux, where the masks still claim some 'space, tripping bright in images and individual perceptions that once settled, create opinion. This is exactly what we like to talk after witnessing the performance of the company that has ZoeTeatro presented his latest work, Malacorte. The show, written, directed and starring Michele Bandini and Emiliano Pergolani happy with the incursion of Claudio Bilotta, is produced by the Teatro Stabile Umbria with the support of ETI - New Creativity . Keep it up, after Quartet shadows Metal 2005 and 2006, the collaboration of Stabile Umbria Foligno with the young company. Confirmation required that the two projects, Pergolani-Bandini, a true leader of theatrical umbra. If the first two works, the state suspended indefinitely, served to catapult into an afterlife ( Quartet shadows), or deal with a mythology ( Metal ) that it is beyond a close relative, here the game is very different. Paradoxically, the more real. There is a King (Michele Bandini), minister (Emiliano Pergolani) and Cook (Claudio Bilotta). A court that played in the massacre. Freed by the people, by the subjects to which there remains that shut themselves up inside four walls and pull a living. And here comes into play that the theater. This game is very perverse, that throws sparks of life, even where there is more. A theater that creates a short circuit, called a hero and raised to a witness, to retrace a court life, bad, bored, which is not that self-destruction. A game to the power that hides fears are not addressed, prevarication on the other, empty of purpose. Excellent scenic solutions and functionality of the lighting design created by Mirco Duvalloni that played off by degrees the light and the life of the three. And so the death of the protagonists of the final, is not that the happy ending, so to understand the power of a century just past, that only the theater, thanks to his fiction, can unmask. This is a bit 'sense of dark and grotesque Malacorte . A clarity that accompanies the entire show, where the company locates ZoeTeatro one by one in the rubble of a century left behind by drawing a sharp line, an absolute zero, from which will be the first to have to start. A back to square one where suddenly the masks we did not know their fate, they find their way to continue living, to an elsewhere that we will survive and still to pursue.
