On the occasion of the “International Commedia dell’Arte Day” and the holidays of Carnival and Purim, a show by Fabio Mangolini: THE FLY’S LAZZO, a lecture/performance on Italian Theater.
Every year, on February 25th, the Commedia dell’Arte Day is celebrated all over the world to promote this tradition and to demonstrate the existence of an international community which recognizes itself in it.
Fabio Mangolini, actor, director and teacher is the Italian guest of the Commedia dell’Arte Day in Israel.
The fly’s lazzo belongs to Arlecchino who, visibly hungry, imagines a rich meal and, in the absence of anything else, ends up eating a fly.
Mangolini, alone on the stage, explains and shows the secrets of Italian Commedia dell’Arte and its masks. A wonderful travel starting from Padua in 1545 and arriving since our days. An actor transforms himself from lecturer to acrobat, from storyteller of a marvellous story to the story itself.
Show in English.
Refreshments from 19:30, offered by the Italian Cultural Institute in Haifa.
