24th Jan. - 10:30 am
25th Jan. - 1:30 pm
A show set along the lines of the tradition of the comedy of errors: an Italian actress receives a student in her apartment for a private theater lesson; he is eager to learn the tricks of the trade and she is thrilled at the idea of making him fall in love with Italian theatre; she sits him down and searches through her library, preparing the ideal Theater Course for him!
The lesson seems to be going well until we realize that there is a small language problem... communication breaks down until the universal language of the masks of Commedia dell'Arte comes to the rescue! Set partly in English and partly in Italian - without subtitles - this show ironically demolishes preconceived notions of the difficulty of the theatre language and highlights how communication problems can be solved with theatrical body work; entertaining an audience that speaks or study Italian, English, or both … or none!
