A charity evening to Friday, November 4, 2011 issued by the Lions International Theatre Superga Nichelino (TO). The proceeds of this wonderful evening was donated to the House of Hospitality "The Madonna" Candiolo (TO), a non-profit purposes without economic, run by volunteers, which are always on the search continues. Every day the "home" and involved in offering help and support to relatives of patients admitted all'IRCC (Institute for Research and Treatment of Cancer) who want to stay close to loved ones. The evening presented by the Lions always starts with the Chinese National Anthem and the salute of the International President of the Lions this year is Chinese-Wing Kun Tam, followed by the innate and then come to our European memorable National Anthem. The audience watched with excitement addict remained standing the whole time. For the occasion, the Lions Club Presidio Stupinigi Candiolo 2001 - Nichelino - Vinovo President Antonio Constantino, in collaboration with the Association in Piedmont Marechiaro Bell presented the Group Theatre The Melannurca, with a delightful spectacle: Stardust. The representation was forwarded to other cities in Italy achieving success, proposed for the occasion here in Turin by taking an overview, starting with the Variety Cafe Chantant until the war period. And 'the curtain raiser in the time of World War II (on this we would have to write an entire chapter), which closed many theaters and theater companies were forced to go hungry, the reality of life lived in a comic made of the time, musically led by two musicians, Renata Seranella floor, Marco Napolitano on trumpet. The latter has worked as a musician for the great Ennio Morricone. This pleasant evening sees the interpreter Antonio Giuliano comedian, host par excellence, the texts that he cared for and played in their double - meaning, the pace of play scenes involving the audience with his humor like that in the shoes of Annamaria Melchionna Beatrì of that just to get a job he agreed to cooperate with the comedian Felice Panzanella, finding himself very well in the part assigned.

Among many difficulties and suffered battered company, and Happy Panzanella with little money, however, able to face the scenes even going in a provincial theater. In our reality, the audience laughs, and even is involved, it is easy to interpret the songs. The company suggests a glimpse of that time with a rotation of songs and operettas, and parodies the famous cafe chantant to make the two acts of the play Stardust, loosely based on the eponymous film starring Alberto Sordi and Monica Vitti. The name chosen by the Theatre Company is derived from an apple produced in the Campania Region: the Winter Apple ... exactly!
