The lightness value of the theater
<< "Con i piedi fortemente appoggiati sulle nuvole." E' una frase di Enno Flaiano, recuperata da uno dei suoi quaderni di appunti, unico segno grafico in una pagina totalmente bianca, vuota. E' diventata una sorta di messaggio che da allora (quasi vent'anni fa) guida il mio atteggiamento nel fare teatro. La incontrai mentre vagavo affascinato nella lettura delle Lezioni Americane di Italo Calvino. Un'altra iluminazione.
fact, when Calvin speaks of subtraction of weight, lightness value I can not help but think of the process of petrification, which could affect our theater, more likely today classify the audience during jaw opening the yawning or to seek to raise dust that vitality and innovation. Remove
weight to the structure of the narrative, language (including stage) without simplifying or impoverished content, lightness pursuit of precision, agility, speed, or the lightness as a reaction to the weight of life, have become and continue to my address be creative. Able to sweat but also to fly. Planes but also be practical and not wishful thinking: the method in the madness. Just Calvin says: "Fantasy is like jam, you just spread it on a solid slice of bread." >> Taken from
