WAITING FOR GODOT Review of Daniel Jordan

IN 2, as two homeless Daniele Ossola (Gogo) and Angelo Patti (Didi), loosely based on, give life to the drama of the most famous play by Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" in which a succession of incoherent speech and surface without meaning or purpose, as is the Theatre of the Absurd. From their conversation, trivial, or using such popular comic effects, there is the nonsense of human life, where sometimes you laugh at others, is reflected. Continuous complaints by Dodo on the cold, hunger, in addition to all this comes out of their way to be, trying to live without the other loose, coming to think of suicide, you will understand to be the 'one of the other half, waiting for Mr. Godot to arrive, but he never appears on the scene, only to send a boy by two vagrants, who will announce that at a distance "will not be today, but that will come tomorrow" , referring to his client. The book is divided into two acts, the plot is reduced to the essentials, as well as the set except the weeping willow place like an hourglass, to mark the passing of time through the leaves have fallen. The mimic gestures of the protagonists are essential, just in time, according to the two artists, it seems to sometimes be a circus.

THE WORD "FREE" SOMETIMES MAY 'FOOLED (The Bald Cantari E. Ionesco)

The desire to make theater is now known, there are good actors and less, others do not count. Then there is the category of directors who take the stage plays written by themselves or by others, trying to overcome or at least be close to the artist's main piece. There is another category is not very well defined, perhaps because young, but ready to try and come forward with their ideas then they are welcome, the risk for them is great! Some kind they try without success, others succumb to the weight of the play, but some people risking and, perhaps reading between the lines written by the great authors, can fathom putting something decent on stage a show, sometimes surprising. The reference alluded to earlier, is not random, was played by cunning. When we read, we attract just the words written in large, this is done to attract attention, in terms of prestige is defined as a distraction. Without making too many turns of phrase, the comment is intended for the theater company New Forms, in a sly poster written in a "freely adapted from The Bald Soprano" by Eugene Ionesco, but the title of their play is "The Singing" All presented ' Arena S. Filippo di Torino (Italy) with the actors: Simone Faraon (adapted and directed), Sergio Cavallaro (choreography and artistic direction), Monica Iannessi, Paolo Mazzini, a good girl Francesca Roi, Davide Faraon (audio), assistant director Corrado Trione. In short, the new forms, he made his comment about what Ionesco said during the writing of this play, they have not staged the play, but the anticommedia, a kind of friendly mockery, a comedy in the play, trying to stay within the parameters of the original comedy of Ionesco, who put on stage in Paris in 1950, was anything but a success at its first, had to wait five years to get it, unlike the theater company New Forms with "The Soprano "that has emerged on the same evening, shared by all the public intervened in the beautiful courtyard in the evening ... it was.
