Rovigo: serata di risate ed emozioni con Stefano Accorsi, protagonista dello spettacolo teatrale Azul

Rovigo: serata di risate ed emozioni con Stefano Accorsi, protagonista dello spettacolo teatrale Azul. Un'ora e venti di spettacolo a ritmo sostenuto con un Stefano Accorsi protagonista del palco. Azul, scritto e diretto da Daniele Finzi Pasca, ha chiuso ieri sera la Stagione di Prosa del Teatro Sociale di Rovigo, per l'occasione al completo. Risate ma anche tanti momenti di riflessione che l'attore e gli altri componenti del cast -  Luciano Scarpa, Sasà Piedepalumbo e Luigi Sigillo -  sono riusciti a creare attraverso la messa in scena, basata sulla storia di quattro amici che, tra immaginazione e realtà, evocano ricordi, problemi relazionali, tragedie e momenti felici condivisi negli anni, sempre accomunati dalla fede per il calcio. Tante le emozioni: amarezza, gioia, paura, che hanno accompagnato lo spettacolo durante tutta la serata. Sul palco uno sfondo blu, un pianoforte a muro, un contrabbasso, tre divise da carabiniere su manichini e una poltrona, che diventa quasi il luogo dell'anima e della coscienza del protagonista Pino detto Pinocchio, interpretato egregiamente da Stefano Accorsi, che ad un certo punto dello spettacolo sembra togliersi gli abiti di attore per interagire con il pubblico, inscenando un simpatico “siparietto” su una domanda a cui non si pensa: in quale giorno e dove siamo stati concepiti? Poi lo spettacolo riprende con il tenore e la carica iniziali fino ad esplodere nel canto a squarciagola dell'inno che unisce i quattro amici che si abbracciano fraternamente, tra lo scroscio di applausi di tutto il pubblico presente in sala. “E' uno spettacolo – ha detto Accorsi – sulle passioni della vita, sui rapporti, sul tempo che passa. Credo che se alla fine di questo spettacolo la gente ha voglia di riabbracciare i propri amici e le persone alle quali vuole bene e di farsi una risata insieme, questo possa valere più di mille messaggi”.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

Corteo at the Bell Center | For the love of a little clown

Corteo at the Bell Center | For the love of a little clown

Returning to the Bell Amphitheater for the second time in five years, corteo, from Cirque du Soleil, is coming (from the United States) with its procession of clowns and whimsical characters. One of Cirque’s most poetic pieces, directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca. Posted at 4:00 p.m. The new President and CEO of Cirque Stéphane Lefebvre told us last October, during the presentation of the show…

BIANCO SU BIANCO - COMPAGNIA FINZI PASCA

scritto e diretto da Daniele Finzi Pasca

con Helena Bittencourt e Goos Meeuwsen

È stato molto bello lo spettacolo ieri sera…e la cosa che ha detto Helena parlando con il pubblico…ovvero che ha cercato di affrontare questo testo raccontando la storia così come si affronta un esercizio al trapezio (a volte con ancora più paura di cadere) mi ha colpita molto. Credo proprrio ci sia riuscita: l’equilibrio perfetto, la giusta distanza, il sangue freddo. Che ribolle. Rispettare un testo, amarlo, interpretarlo ma farlo proprio, unire l’ironia alla dolcezza, alla profondità d’animo che, a volte, può trasparire da un solo gesto. Raccontare ed essere al tempo stesso pura emozione. È quello che ho sempre sognato per il teatro, al di là di tutto il resto, bello, importante, dalle scenografia alle luci all’impegno di tutti, è l’emozione pura a fare la differenza. E’ un bambino che ride di libertà fra le prime file del pubblico che completa la magia.

The Widow’s Best of 2019

Welcome readers to our Best of 2019 round-up. Some of you might remember that when one half of The Widow, Liz Arratoon, started writing about the circus 25 years ago – with Widow other half Adrian Arratoon by her side – she was almost a lone advocate for the art form. Don’t you get jaded, people ask us. Absolutely not! But we do long for something a bit different, and this year we have been disappointed that so many circus shows and acts have started to look a bit similar and yawny.

One notable exception gets our Best Show, and we did love Company Soralino’s clowning with cardboard boxes, and Mizuki Shinagawa on silks at the 40th Cirque de Demain festival, but we have cast our gaze beyond circus to take in whatever else has taken our fancy. Just to remind people, and before any more sensitive hearts are broken, anything we have seen this year, no matter when it was created, is eligible for selection, but if we haven’t seen it, it isn’t. Our list, our rules, and, in no particular order, here it is. All shows are in London unless otherwise stated.

BEST SHOW: We really enjoyed Aurelia Thierrée’s Bells and Spells at the Norfolk & Norwich Festival, but our Best Show is La Nuit du Cerf (A Deer in the Headlights) by Cirque Le Roux, seen on French TV. This is the company’s follow-up to The Elephant in the Room, and new cast members Valerie Benoit and Mason Ames join the original troupe of Lolita Costet, Yannick Thomas, Philip Rosenberg and Gregory Arsenal. Together they showcase a sophisticated and exquisitely choreographed blend of top-flight acrobatics, handstands, hand-to-hand, roller-skating, tight wire, you name it, in a totally fresh and exciting presentation, all backed by a wonderfully eclectic soundtrack. If only more companies could come up with something so innovative.

FEMALE ARTIST OF THE YEAR: Extraordinary acrobat Esmeralda Nikolajeff, part of the line-up for Barely Methodical Troupe’s third show, SHIFT, which opened the London International Mime Festival at the Platform Theatre.

MALE ARTIST OF THE YEAR: Wes Peden, juggler, who had a scintillating guest spot in Gandini Juggling and Alexander Whitley’s show Spring at Sadler’s Wells. Don’t miss his solo show Zebra at the Southbank Centre’s Purcell Room during the London International Mime Festival in January 2020.

BEST GIG: Le SuperHomard in the library at the Institut Français as part of the Music Rendezvous season, and Durand Jones and the Indications, seen at the Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall during Meltdown.

MOST ENTERTAINING: Lucy Worsley’s talk about Queen Victoria at Southwark Cathedral.

BEST VENUE: The Poodle Club in Sydenham. 

BEST ACT: Foot-jugglers Marina and Svetlana Tsodikova, who are the Crystal Ladies in Cirque du Soleil’s Totem. They also get MOST GLAMOROUS.

BEST COSTUMES: Alejandro Gómez Palomo for The Male Dancer, choreographed by Iván Pérez, seen on the Arte app; Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fashion Freak Show (pictured below) seen at the Folies Bergère in Paris, and Queen Victoria’s crown, designed by Sheila Hay for A Night with Thick and Tight at the Lilian Baylis Studio, during the London International Mime Festival.

BEST INTERVIEW: Alec Baldwin’s chat with Elaine Stritch on his podcast Here’s the Thing.

BEST MAGIC TRICK: Shin Lim, winner of America’s Got Talent: The Champions 2019, doing card tricks.

LOUDEST GASP!: This photo of Joan Crawford, seen on @cjubarrington’s glorious Twitter account, where he posts vintage photos of Hollywood stars.

BEST MOVE: Anything by world champion football freestyler Liv Cooke.

BEST CASTAWAY: Living legend John Cooper Clarke on Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4.

BEST GOWN: Kathleen Nellis’ fabulous recreation of Marlene Dietrich’s ‘naked’ dress for Peter Groom’s show Natural Duty, originally designed by Jean Louis. Peter also wore it in Dietrich: Live in London, seen at the Crazy Coqs, Live at Zédel, for which he gets BEST CABARET.

MOMENT OF WONDER: Andy Goldsworthy throwing handfuls of snow into the wind in the documentary Rivers and Tides.

BEST LOOK AT THE MET GALA: Harry Styles wearing a sheer Gucci blouse!

HOTTEST TICKET: Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s solo triumph, Fleabag, at Wyndham’s Theatre, and, yes, we did speak to Andrew Scott this year!

FUNNIEST PERSON: David Mills, who stormed New York with Bitter Endings, but we saw him at the Poodle Club. Someone! Book this show for London!

BEST DANCE: The Seasons’ Canon choreographed by Crystal Pite at the Opera Garnier, seen on the Arte app.

BEST SET: Anna Reid’s simple, stylish and effective design for The Sweet Science of Bruising at Wilton’s Music Hall.

BEST SHOWBIZ STORY: The Man Behind the Microphone, first heard on Outlook on BBC World Service. The story of how filmmaker Claire Belhassine discovered that her unassuming Tunisian grandfather, Hedi Jouini, had been a singing megastar. Then we found the film of the same name.

BEST DOCUMENTARY: Liz Garbus’ 2016 Leave Nothing Unsaid, in which Anderson Cooper interviews his remarkable mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, about her life. Devastating and moving.

MOST FLAMBOYANT: Zack MacLeod Pinsent, who dresses like this all the time!

BEST SHOWBIZ BOOK – MALE ARTIST: Me by Elton John with Alexis Petrides.

BEST SHOWBIZ BOOK – FEMALE ARTIST: Dreamgirl: My Life As a Supreme by Mary Wilson… of the Supremes, with Patricia Romanowski and Ahrgus Juilliard.

BEST AUDIENCE: Ah, woof!

MOST NOTABLE ANNIVERSARIES: Ten years of The Double R Club, which was founded by Benjamin Louche and Rose Thorne, and runs at Bethnal Green’s Working Men’s Club, and three years of Cabaret vs Cancer, the registered charity started by Rose.

BEST VINTAGE CIRCUS PICTURE: Coo!

BEST FILM: Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman – which should have won the Oscar – and Olivia Wilde’s delightful teen comedy Booksmart.

BEST FILM SCORE: Out of Blue by Clint Mansell.

MOST IMPRESSIVE MEMORY FEAT: An hour and 40 minutes’ worth of words spoken by the one and only Maggie Smith, who returned to the stage in A German Life at the Bridge Theatre.

MOST ALLURING: Dina Martina, seen at Soho Theate Downstairs in Forgotten but Not Gone.

MOST MISSED: Agnès Varda, Clive James (born Vivian Leopold James!), and the French TV variety show Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde, hosted by Patrick Sébastien, which started in 1998 and ended this year.

GONE FAR TOO SOON: The creative genius Nell Gifford, co-founder of Giffords Circus, who died at 46.

MOST ANTICIPATED: Obviously Wes Peden’s previously mentioned Zebra, and Daniele Finzi Pasca’s latest creation, NUDA, premiering on 11 September 2020 at LAC, Lake Lugano in Switzerland.

Look out for our first interview of 2020, with Scottish aerialist and acobat Lauren Jamieson, who has a PhD in chemistry but gave up her science career to focus on circus full time. She will appear in The Feathers of Daedalus show Tarot during the Vault Festival 2020.

Picture credits: Company Soralino, Valérie Thénard Béal; Wes Peden, Pierre Feniello; Peter Groom, V’s Anchor Studio. Any we’ve missed, please let us know.

What's your opinion on Daniele Finzi Pasca and the two shows he directed for Cirque? (Corteo and Luzia)

My opinion is firmly pro, specifically because of his unique approaches to place and community.

You know exactly where you are in a Pasca show. You’re in Italy, you’re in Mexico, you’re in a nomadic camp (if you’ve seen his work for Cirque Eloize), and you don’t see that level of specificity from any other director in CdS history. This shifts the focus from the people to the place. Notice his different treatment of recurring characters: we have Mauro, the White Clown, the Crying Woman, the Running Woman, etc., but none of them are onstage all the time. None of them are the sole shepherds of their shows. We learn about them by looking at where they come from and the people they’re surrounded by, and he leans on big, tight-knit ensemble casts to communicate that. And even among the ensemble casts, there’s so many tiny details and minute interactions that you get an incredibly strong sense that you’re looking at real people in a real community - which of course you are, because you’re literally in Italy or Mexico! He doesn’t limit tiny, human interactions to just his leads, and in fact he’ll even go as far as to hand ‘em out out a pair of anonymous fish heads. And it doesn’t diminish his leads, it just highlights them in a different way than you see in a Quidam or a Varekai or a Zed or a Volta. It’s a very distinct approach to “show, don’t tell” - like learning more about your partner when you’re invited to their family reunion for the first time. 

All of this gives you as an audience member a sense of being invited inward rather than swept away. That’s the real Pasca magic. This is an existing world but you haven’t just wandered in there - it’s been going on with or without you the entire time and will continue to do so after you’re gone. 

So long story short, he’s different and I love it! What a great question, thank you.

CORTEO Wows, Charms, and Sweetly Dazzles in Arena Remount

CORTEO Wows, Charms, and Sweetly Dazzles in Arena Remount

Review: CORTEO By Perry Tannenbaum

In the early days, when Quidam came to Lowe’s Motor Speedway in 2002, I was fairly besotted by everything Cirque du Soleil produced. That summer, my wife Sue and I took in two more Cirque spectaculars in Las Vegas, including my all-time favorite, the water-logged O at the Bellagio, still running 16 years later. We saw Varekai twice in 2005 under Cirque’s…

[brokehorrorfan]

Cirque du Soleil has been dazzling audiences with its unique brand of contemporary, story-driven circus performances since its humble beginnings in 1984. Have attended my first Cirque du Soleil show, LUZIA, earlier this year, I’m excited to kick off 2019 with my second, Corteo.

Corteo by Cirque du Soleil is currently touring in North America and will land in Worcester, MA at the DCU Center from January 3-6, 2019. The production first premiered in Montreal in April 2005 and has since been seen by 8 million people in 19 countries on four continents.

Corteo, which means cortege in Italian, is described as a festive parade imagined by a clown, set in a mysterious space between heaven and earth. Directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, its cast includes 51 acrobats, musicians, singers, and actors from around the world.

Tickets for the Worcester shows are on sale now starting at $49. Corteo will also play in Boston from June 19-30. Get carried away with life by watching a trailer below.

Corteo, which means cortege in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. The show brings together the passion of the actor with the grace and power of the acrobat to plunge the audience into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth.

The clown pictures his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere, watched over by quietly caring angels. Juxtaposing the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection, the show highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate the portion of humanity that is within each of us. The music turns lyrical and playful carrying Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality.

Rovigo: Stefano Accorsi è il protagonista di Azul, come chiudere in bellezza la Stagione di Prosa del Teatro Sociale di Rovigo

Rovigo: Stefano Accorsi è il protagonista di Azul, come chiudere in bellezza la Stagione di Prosa del Teatro Sociale di Rovigo. Azul, l'opera che chiude la stagione di prosa del Teatro Sociale di Rovigo, inscena la storia di un’amicizia inossidabile che aiuta ad affrontare la vita: in una città dove il gioco del pallone è febbre, amore e passione, quattro amici fanno i conti con le loro rispettive vite e facendo affiorare ricordi provano a ricostruire una serenità andata a pezzi, li accomuna la passione per la squadra del cuore e le infanzie fiabesche. Sono fatti di materia semplice come il pane, ma la domenica, allo stadio, si fanno travolgere da una furia che ogni volta li sconquassa. C’è gioia, amarezza, ironia e tanta voglia di sorridere mentre evocano le vittorie, le sconfitte e le tragedie che hanno condiviso negli anni. «Ho sempre raccontato storie di personaggi carichi di umanità, fragili e trasognati. Il mio teatro - dichiara l’autore e regista Daniele Finzi Pasca - è costruito riproducendo il linguaggio dei sogni. Ho avuto la fortuna di incontrare questi quattro attori carichi di umanità, mestiere e passione. Con loro è stato facile dare vita a questa piccola rapsodia dedicata a quanti non si danno mai per vinti». Appuntamento quindi mercoledì 8 marzo alle 21 con Azul: Gioia, Furia, Fede y Eterno Amor al Teatro Sociale di Rovigo. Scritto e diretto da Daniele Finzi Pasca e con Stefano Accorsi, Luciano Scarpa, Sasà Piedepalumbo, Luigi Sigillo; designer luci Daniele Finzi Pasca; scene di Luigi Ferrigno; costumi di Giovanna Buzzi; video designer Roberto Vitalini; musiche originali di Sasà Piedepalumbo.
