Michele Miglionico
On stage, on the opposite extremes of the ways to stun the audience, a director can choose between two approaches: the special effects or the inherent strength of essentiality. With a set design (by Dario Gessati ) made of two movable walls, driven by the characters themselves with non-nonchalance, and an equally versatile Rollaways and that is the focus of each note, Arturo Cirillo chose the second alternative . There was no limited to this: yes he entrusted the translation of the classic Shakespeare the poet Patrizia Cavalli , alternating free verse in harsh terms, but has the same function of the (blasphemous?) cuts to get to the heart of the plot, and to make it stand exacerbate the two straight hours in which the viewer is dragged.
Everything has been said on this show that has gone on for two years with acclaim from critics and audiences.
You can add that the acting director of the same mythical character of Iago does not go unnoticed - for better or for worse. We had never happened to attend a Othello in which the antagonist raises the hilarity of the public. Not failure, God forbid, except that this version over the top, states that about a Pirandello "warning to the contrary" between the words and intentions as a friend to conspirator in the balance between comedy and bitter humor.
The Moor of Venice Danilo Nigrelli looks good - in fact, threatens to steal the show as it vibrates, as is intense, virile. Weigh the previous experiences of the actor with the character? Probably. His mask of makeup brown, that covers half his face, as it is washed away by a restless and nervous gestures, and just when you consume the final murder, Othello is white.
And the rest of the cast can not fight to avoid being swallowed up by the two matadors.
Gianluca Falaschi follows the directives of the director, making clothes and uniforms from the first half of the twentieth century (it is now impossible to watch a Shakespeare set in his era?) Or Commedia dell'Arte masks. One can not but notice the choice, all present to make the character of a transsexual prostitute with Bianca, played well with multiple pop Salvatore Caruso .
To sum up, a performance that does leave the theater satisfied, a full belly.
