MADDALENE – From Giotto to Bacon
By Giovanni Testori, by and with Valter Malosti and Lamberto Curtoni on cello.
On the occasion of the centenary of Giovanni Testori’s birth, Valter Malosti, director, actor and director of the Emilia – Romagna Teatro Fondazione (ERT) brings to the stage “Maddalene”, an evocative show in which the writer’s verses are accompanied and counterpointed by short original suites for cello, written by the composer Carlo Boccadoro and interpreted by the talented cellist Lamberto Curtoni. A singular journey, a “Maddalenesque path” that unfolds through the dialogue between images and words: from Duccio to Masaccio, from Giotto to Cézanne, from Beato Angelico to Caravaggio, from Raffaello to Rubens, from Botticelli to Titian, from Grünewald to Bacon.
Original music by Carlo Boccadoro, Sound designer and video programming by GUP Alcaro, an Emilia-Romagna Teatro ERT/Teatro Nazionale production. With the support of Teatro di Dioniso / TPE – Teatro Piemonte Europa / Festival deSidera / Festival Orizzonti / Unione Musicale Torino-Confluenze.
In collaboration with Comune di Rimini and Sagra Musicale Malatestiana.
