The performance "Arlecchinando - the Theatre of the Masks and the Neighbour" written and directed by Cristina Coltelli will be the final act of 3 months of events about Commedia dell'Arte in Palermo: we started with a show-conference in December and conducted an intensive workshop in January. From the workshop will be selected part of the cast for the ending show at the international museum on February 25th. The show is about the story and life of Commediens in the sixteenth century and how they were able to code and decode the world around them, transforming their skills and intuitions into what we call Commedia dell'Arte. A journey through the history of Man and the fascinating relationship between the human being and the art of laughing.
