Theatre: The 6 Pinocchios - I sei Pinocchi by Maur...
Synopsis of the play SIX PINOCCHIOs

Six superior puppets (marionettes) get off from an ancient wardrobe after a centuries long sleep. They are surprised; nothing is asit was before. They may learn and study the new reality around them. With a terrific surprise, they discover an audience in front of them. And this audience is waiting for their show. At the beginning, they do not know what they can tell to the audience. They feel confused. Then, step by step, they start to remember something very important and they start to tell the audience.

THEATRE - The man with the flower in his mouth

THEATRE - The man with the flower in his mouth
 
On the 150th Anniversary of the birth of Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936), this project wishes to be a tribute from two expatriates in the Far East to the Sicilian writer. The Man with the Flower in his Mouth (in Italian: L'Uomo dal Fiore in Bocca) is a 1922 play written by the Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello. A dialogue between a man aware of his incurable decease, and another one who lives without questioning death; a metaphor of the circle of life and death, personified through the deep and somehow mysterious connection between word and music. A man tries to savour all lasting moments of his life while the other character - replaced by a pianist with a minor trouble in the execution of his music –supports him, often inadvertently.
The original Pirandello play has been integrated with poems by Pier Paolo Pasolini and Jacques Prevert, while music repertoire includes classic authors such as Liszt, Chopin, Bach and original music by Alberto Firrincieli. The performance has been ideated and directed by Maurizio Mistretta, live music by Alberto Firrincieli.
