LIFEGATE To Receive International Premiere at Hollywood Fringe
Cameron, a young and brave woman, in love with a very first friend from elementary school; a smart funny girl, whose dream is the world, outside her house and a naive, gullible good Italian-American boy, Vito (in honor of The Godfather) who wants to become a mechanic, to follow in the footsteps of his old man. Through their stories, we will experience the tastes of fear, happiness, love, pain and...life. Lifegate is a comedian monologue with an unexpected twist that will lead us to get all life's feelings.
Written, directed and played by Giorgia Mazzucato. Music by Roberto "Ominostanco" Vallicelli. Costume design by Irene Tortora. "La SITI production - Giorgia Mazzucato & Maria Beatrice Alonzi"
Performances, June 17 - 5:30 PM, June 21 0 7:00 PM. Asylum's Inter(National) House - 6500 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, CA. Tickets: $15. http://www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/4770
Giorgia Mazzucato, a 27 year old actress, writer and director, is considered the enfant prodige of the Italian theater landscape where she is famous for her civil commitment which has brought her many important awards.
Disciple of Franca Rame and the Nobel Prize Dario Fo (who called her "great professional"),
Last year Giorgia has won the "Fringe Off Award" during the "Rome Fringe Festival" with her monologue "Viviamoci", which will be performed in english for the first time during her tournée in the States.
"Lifegate", that's the translated name, is an example of Giorgia's flair: an ironic, brilliant, empathetic pièce, committed to important aspects of our life.
..SOMETHING ABOUT "LIFEGATE"
"[A pièce] with a paradoxical, metaphysical, precise, incisive script"
Giorgia Mazzucato is able, thanks to the authentic simplicity of her tale, to create mysterious connections between different lifes which are unexpectedly close. Men and women through Giorgia, that plays all the charachters, are traveling, meeting, leaving, drawing long slipstreams then let it fade away.. [...] This is an ontological script, which encourages time to think; it deals with the profound theme of existence trough life, death, loss. With maturity, sensibility and delicate irony. "Lifegate" is a celebration of an explosive and fool "joie de vivre".
- Recensito - (italian magazine)
"Showing yourself simple and smiling is the world's supreme art" Esenin.
After "Lifegate", performance by the young and talented Giorgia Mazzucato, this sentence found its confirmation.
- La Platea - (italian magazine)
"Lifegate" is a wander through the dozens shades of blue, an immersion, in life, that soaks your clothes, plunges our mouth with sweet and salty water, impregnates our bones with amazement and surprise.
[Giorgia] goes immediately beyond the looking glass, crossing the line between reality and fantasy, the door which divides these worlds: one primordial soup of life and beauty.
