Commedia dell’Arte is the most known italian mask-theatre tradition, and it has influenced uncountable theatre genres from 16th century until today. Maximum expression of popular culture, it has always talked about current history with pungent irony; this is why it has always been censored and hated by institutional powers. Born as street performance it has always belonged to poor people; that’s why, traditionally, it doesn’t need lights or special effects but only a body, a voice and someone who listens.
“Serenata Viandante” (Emigrantens Serenade) is a comedy show that talks about one of the most urgent issues nowadays: migration.
A young italian man, Leonardo, decides to travel from Italy across Europe, facing geographical obstacles and social prejudices, to reach Denmark and find a better life.
Lo spettacolo è in lingua inglese.
A conclusione dell’evento l’Istituto Italiano di Cultura offrirà agli intervenuti un bicchiere di vino.
