PRESS RELEASE (29/07/2014)
Wednesday, July 30, at Loano, the review will return“Family-friendly Loano”, promoted by the’Department of Tourism, Culture and Sports of the City of Loano organized by the I.So THeatre.
At 9:30 pm, in the’Prince's Garden Summer Arena starring in the children's theater program will be the Mad Grass Theater who will tell with large puppets the folk tale “Rapunzel”.
The story that will be staged has ancient origins (the earliest forms date back to 1600) and, as is often the case, has spread throughout Europe with some variations, but the characters and places have remained the same. The Italian writer Cesare Basile in 1600 wrote PETROSINELLA, Italo Calvino revived in the Italian fairy tale collection PREZZEMOLINA, and in Germany the Brothers Grimm wrote RAPERONZOLO. And it is from this version that this sparkling and comically rich show was born.
RAPERONZOLA is the adventure of a long-braided maiden and an orca who holds her captive in a tower, but a prince will come who will free her.
On this simple plot a magical scenic development has been realized in the eyes of the beholder. Inside a kind of spinning “tower of Babel,” inspired by the sculptures of Trentino artist Pietro Weber, the whole story unfolds.
The protagonists are large puppets moved on sight by the narrator who lives with them: telling, fighting and moving all in a harmony of sounds and noises that characterize the various moods. It is a comic and poetic show that promotes a reflection: life is a continuous cycle where one ends and another begins.
The evening is at free admission.
