Les secrets de la Commedia dell'Arte

Event Sion / Sitten

Overview

Intro

Francesco Aceti

The lecture-show will illustrate the great tradition of Italian masks at the origin of modern theater. It will begin by explaining the postures of the "fixed types" - the old men, the valets, the lovers, the captains - then will be shown improvisational techniques with plots or examples of "action" and "verbal" lazzi from the Commedia dell'Arte of the XVIᵉ century. The use and technique of leather masks will be presented, sources, documents and engravings cited, and the origins of "Italian-style acting" in the XVIIᵉ and XVIIIᵉ centuries discussed.
