Inauguration from 24 to 29 October in the name of poetry and acting art with “Ezra in a cage or the Ezra Pound case” by Mariano Rigillo directed by Leonardo Petrillo
The Teatro della Pergola in Florence will inaugurate the 2023/24 season from 24 to 29 October in the sign of poetry and acting art with “Ezra in a cage or the Ezra Pound case” by Mariano Rigillo directed by Leonardo Petrillo. The independence of thought, a characteristic that leads to being opposed by different fronts, runs through many of the shows on the bill, from Aldo Moro and Pier Paolo Pasolini for Fabrizio Gifuni to always Pasolini for Elio Germano and Teho Teardo, from Eduardo De Filippo for Fausto Russo Alesi to Sigmund Freud for Stefano Massini, to get to Fabrizio De André for Neri Marcorè.
Isabella Rossellini’s new one woman show is dedicated to a freethinker: “Darwin’s Smile” is a monologue that reconciles the worlds of art and science starting with Charles Darwin and his book “The expression of emotions in man and animals”.
Bob Wilson confronts Fernando Pessoa for a show that arises from the director’s keen interest in the “European Actress and Actor” project, also and above all in its perspective of encounter and relationship with the African continent. The return of the bailaor Israel Galván is also announced with only one site specific in a location that will be revealed later, a small big event before the start of the season.
In the context of international relations, the mastery of actresses and actors is at the center of the new common challenge of Teatro della Toscana and Théâtre de la Ville in Paris with its director Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota.
