STAGE TUBE: Eugenio Contenti sings Kooman and Dimond's 'To Excess' @ CAFE101
by Nino Prattico - Oct 19, 2013


Italiani alla conquista del mondo: sarebbe stato questo il titolo perfetto per questo articolo. Ogni giorno ci capita di sentire storie di giovani italiani che hanno trovato la loro 'strada' oltralpe o, addirittura, oltreoceano (ambo i lati)... nel mondo del teatro questo fenomeno si vede ad occhio nudo. Tanti sono i performer il cui nome svetta sulle locandine dei piu importanti spettacoli a livello internazionale: Gian Marco Schiaretti ed Emanuele Caserta nella produzione Stage Enterteinment di TARZAN attualmente in scena ad Amburgo, rispettivamente nei ruoli di Tarzan e Terk; Daniela Pobega, che da due anni a questa parte miete consensi nel ruolo di Nala nella produzione spagnola di THE LION KING; Angelo di Figlia che, prima in MAMMA MIA! e ora in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, sta conquistando il pubblico francese; Gabriella Zanchi che tra qualche giorno riprendera il ruolo di Madame de la Grande Bouche - da lei gia interpretato nella versione italiana del musical - nella suddetta produzione parigina di BEAUTY AND THE BEAST... Ad ogni modo, quest'oggi i nostri riflettori sono puntati su un altro giovane performer italiano che - avendo terminato da qualche settimana il suo percorso di studi presso la prestigiosa AMDA di New York - comincia adesso la sua scalata verso la Great White Way. Sto parlando di Eugenio Contenti. Noto in terra nostrana per aver affiancato i piu grandi registi del settore (da Saverio Marconi a Federico Bellone, da Mauro Simone a Christian Ginepro, da Fabrizio Angelini a Claudio Insegno) e per aver calcato le scene in spettacoli come PINOCCHIO (sbarcato gia a New York nel 2010) e ALICE NEL PAESE DELLE MERAVIGLIE, Eugenio si e di recente esibilto al Cafe101 regalando un'esilarante esibizione del brano To Excess del duo Kooman&Dimond - contenuto nel loro ultimo album OUT OF OUR HEADS - di cui vi proponiamo il video.
