Atlanta audiences are invited to explore something beyond the usual fare this holiday season: Big Fish, a magical, new 12-actor musical adaptation of the best- selling book by Daniel Wallace and hit Tim Burton film.
Nell'ambito della rassegna 'Spazio del racconto' al Teatro Brancaccino va in scena 'Gl'innamorati di Goldoni' dall'01 al 04 dicembre. La piece non e l'attualizzazione dell'omonima commedia scritta da Goldoni nel 1759, ma ne e la radicale riscrittura contemporanea. Le differenze fra l'opera originaria e questa nuova commedia sono le stesse che corrono fra l'attualita e la contemporaneita. Una drammaturgia che raduna tutte le opposizioni del sentimento e della morale, tutti i sintomi, le mode, gli stili del presente in una radicale rivisitazione del classico di Goldoni, trasportandolo a un'altra latitudine e a un'altra temperatura del contemporaneo.
