Description
Automatically translated from Italian.
A performance that reinvents Stoppard's masterpiece, bringing to the stage the secondary characters from Hamlet as protagonists in a comedy rich with paradoxes and humor. The show blends the tradition of Commedia dell'Arte with the philosophical reflection of the original text, offering a bizarre and knowingly naive perspective on the events of the Danish prince. Featuring Francesco Pannofino, Francesco Acquaroli, and Paolo Sassanelli, the play explores existential themes through surreal and farcical tones, capturing both the emotional depth and comedic strength of the story. At the Teatro Comunale Fusco in Taranto from November 6th to 8th.
Original text in Italian
Uno spettacolo che reinventa il capolavoro di Stoppard, portando in scena i personaggi secondari dell'Amleto come protagonisti di una commedia ricca di paradossi e umorismo. Lo spettacolo mescola la tradizione della Commedia dell'Arte con la riflessione filosofica del testo originale, offrendo una prospettiva bizzarra e consapevolmente ingenua sugli eventi del principe danese. Con Francesco Pannofino, Francesco Acquaroli e Paolo Sassanelli, la pièce esplora temi esistenziali attraverso toni surreali e farseschi, catturando sia la profondità emotiva che la forza comica della storia. Al Teatro Comunale Fusco di Taranto dal 6 all'8 novembre.
