Spettacolo "Sei personaggi in cerca di autore"

Address: Teatro Municipale 21:00 - 15033 Casale Monferrato The theatre as an emblematic place, where the lives of the actors intertwine with those of the characters, where the distance between the stage and the audience dissolves and the performance is approached with the awareness that everything becomes real, nothing can be fiction in theatrical reality. Pirandello is commemorated, remembered, evoked and rehearsals begin for a show dedicated to him, but they are interrupted and resumed, amid disagreements, delays, conflicts between actors and director, between the people and the characters to be portrayed. Everything that happens in the normal course of a theatre company, during rehearsals, is wrapped in the weariness of actors who stir tautological images, in the disillusionment of a director aware of the mediocrity of repetitive work. Theatre becomes lived life by actors, directors, technicians, photographers, costume designers who work, rehearse, invent, clash, giving the audience that fresh immediacy of reality that Pirandello wanted. Where does fiction end and where does reality begin? Pirandello wants to open theatre to life and life takes on the shades of performance,
