A Musical Theatre InFormance - Il teatro musicale in concerto!
by Nino Prattico - Nov 3, 2013


SAVE THE DATE: Sabato 9 novembre alle ore 20.45 lo spettacolo dal titolo 'A Musical Theatre Informance - Il Teatro Musicale In Concerto' inaugurera la Stagione di Prosa del Comune di Borgo Valsugana (provincia di Trento) organizzata dal Coordinamento Teatrale Trentino. Si tratta di un'informance di teatro musicale, ovvero un concerto con brani scelti dal repertorio del musical internazionale, con l'intento di in-'formare' il pubblico. 'È un tipo di spettacolo pensato per il Trentino - luogo in cui sono nato e cresciuto - ma adattabile a qualsiasi altra parte d'Italia' dice Mattia Ferrari, protagonista e regista dello show. 'Ho pensato - continua - che l'informance potesse essere un modo efficace per far conoscere al pubblico locale un genere teatrale ancora poco diffuso in regione. Per questo motivo ho scelto un cast artistico e tecnico formato da giovani trentini: tre artisti locali che conducono il pubblico attraverso brani provenienti da un genere teatrale che, per alcuni, e ancora del tutto sconosciuto.'
