THEATER - Saltini kitchen Carpi sapori vanguard - With the 'Edo' between the station and the Forum Boarium
Mario Bizzoccoli
Carpi - Threnoi? Here it is in the evening of September 28, 2008 first autumn. An ancient formula for a representation that is of course tragic and cathartic, collective and, possibly, participated. Green said "We want the new? All'antico Back", this continued to assert that the typical and unique, which is called history, on the one hand, and culture of the other. So Andrea Saltini, whimsical playwright and director, known for his exploits experimental theater space in several of our citizens, wanted to face a particularly tough as the Edward II Christopher Marlowe, rewrite as "Edo", in the current time, without betraying the deep spirit of the Elizabethan drama.
Structured definitely on the move, "Edo" was represented by members of the "Forum Theater" Carpi - erected two years ago the drive joint individual professional theater in the area and Assessorato alle Politiche Culturali - which saw the participation of Corale "G. Savani" directed by Maestro Giampaolo Violi Band and Wells Fargo & Nightingale of Correggio. The design of the processional "threnoi is radically apart from the respected Saltini, developing on a path that has identified, on the way Alghisi, three great dramatic: the front of the train station, the square dell'antistante Emporio Ferrari and the large roof of the stable-cattle market in which the drama had its fulfillment.
The audience (300 people) followed docilely not the removal of short dall'Emporio Ferrari to ex-market, as had been previously prepared a large number of seats around a stage in the developed perpendicular to the scene classic, almost with a solution of the theater "No" Japanese, while the two bands (played actively on a mime conceptual background) occupied the choir, the bottom of the canopy, made from small steps absidale closing it, and the group the instrumental catino front of the stage would be remarkable detection of this very strong classical solution, but need only take note of the sound-stage that could offer. With regard to the representation, we must pay tribute to the actor group of exemplary commitment dramatic, really played on the most classic of the effects of estrangement. I must however point out the success convincing the main Elisa Lolli (Regina suffering defeat and spiritually, the more that Desdemona Ophelia), Graziano Salerno (Edo King deviated by more than sexuality, a power which is subject succumbing), Domenico Riva (the Sicario-passing, a seemingly artificial presence that transforms the "Deus ex machina" of the action), Tiziano Meschieri (a Mortimer conscious, sometimes gracchiante, but always well-carved), Marco Guidetti (Gaveston, and character scomodo antieroico ). The whole system is held up high that the contrapuntal chorus "Savani" manifestly under the direction determined Violi and obviously (he made a genuine miracle in the short space of a month) and Wells Fargo, all American country specific and fairly sarcastic. Excellent video of the solution depth, curated by Roberto Zampa, using synthesis of Carpigiani real landscape, with additions metaphysical: the drama closes with the screening of the assassination of Edo in the bathroom of the station from which everything began. Unico neo remarkable, the excessive lack of lighting on the actors if they proscenium or walkway. The scene is classically clear and gradually, it all hangs on a total catharsis. And this is classic.
