Milan, 18-22 January 2011. What will end tomorrow has been one of the weeks of this nervous and troubled season with the highest density of debuts. The theaters in Milan have seen an incredible concentration of first, we counted eleven, and we are sure that someone has slipped. From "Heart of a cactus" excellent Fausto Russo Alesi to Parenti (18) to "The Miser" the Teatro delle Albe ELF Puccini (21); by "Malamore" to Tieffe Menotti Theatre (19) to "I had a beautiful red balloon" at the Teatro Litta (18); from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" Cecchi to the Relatives "Bashful" ELF Puccini. And again: "Giotto" at the Theatre Cooperative, "The Vespers of the Blessed Virgin" Antonio Tarantino Litta, "Paladins of France" at the Teatro Verdi , "Flags" with Beppe Rosso Theater Railing, "White Nights" by young graduate Paolo Grassi Alberto Oliva Oscar Theatre. Not to mention all events with two performances on weekends.
Well, knowing the time and above all the spaces reserved for the criticism I've been looking forward to this day on Saturday, in which the major national newspapers (Corriere della Sera "and" Republic ") spend more than a few lines in the theater, Safe read some reviews. My expectation has led to angry disappointment at the empty pages of culture and entertainment. The two newspapers mentioned have not reserved space none of the shows that debuted this week. Better to say: no one show in Milan. Maybe that Milan is no longer the alleged (and, at this point, presumptuous?) primato nazionale di "città del teatro" (come già insunuato dai Premi Ubu 2010, assegnati a nessuno spettacolo passato da Milano)? Problema di altro genere. Qui ci preme dire come su pagine nazionali, locali, inserti le uniche tracce sbiadite di teatro sono state: Emma Dante e la presentazione di "Trilogia degli occhiali" - che almeno noi milanesi potremo vedere a metà febbraio al CRT ("Repubblica", pagina nazionale), il giochino delle domandine (basta chiamare in causa Proust!) a Franca Valeri (inserto di "Repubblica"), intervista a Scamarcio, prossimo al debutto nel panni di Romeo (sorrisino sornione in merito a quanto gli andranno larghi quei panni...) e intervista ad Anna Marchesini. Bè, c'è sempre il edited by Franco Quadri full pages on the "Republic" to save us - we said. No, this week not only paintings he did not write, but in this case appeared in a show staged for more than thirty theaters in Milan.
mean total anemia which might suggest to the unwary reader that the theater production is in agony. The best way to deny the dignity of recognition of the existence and essence of an entity is to ignore it, pretend it's not there. Unless full pages devoted to the problems of workers of La Scala, which are exploited to talk about other problems involving national citizenship. Because in the end this is sad image that looms like a shadow on this area: that the difficulties of the performing arts unique to the employees of the theater (while, and rightly so, the problems of factory workers, cover the whole of Italy). Well it seems that the public look to the theater as you watch the bum deformed beggar: you know it's there, but his pain does not concern you and you turn the other way.
forgot: a review came out, the only one. Lucrezia Lante della Rovere on one (unless you forgot to write that this was also the first Giorgio Armani, who designed the costumes). Randomness?
We can only hope Cultural insert tomorrow's "Sole 24 Ore".
