Laboratory Theatre Association "Il Cortile" in Nova Milanese, the first show of Scotchattori is a recital based on 'Spoon River Anthology the American poet Edgar Lee Masters.
"Where are Elmer, Herman, Bert, Tom, Charlery, the apathetic and the athletic, the clown, the boozer, the fighter?"
is with this phrase from the poem " the hill "that opens the show. For this recital was made a careful choice between the 248 characters that make up the original work, proposing some of the most fascinating and interesting.
The show puts the audience in the center of the scene: it struck the canonical distinction between stage and audience , the spectators are part of the show as the actors, are an integral part.
Interpreters, dressed entirely in black, armed only with a desk and a book-light, they wander like ghosts in the shadows, making the public feel their awkward presence. The choice of directing the actors to leave the lectern with the script serves to underscore the fact that it is a recital, he reminds the reader that you are playing in the balance between the written and recited , show that the foundations are rooted in interpretive reading of something that has its own life even in written form.
The characters that come alive thanks to the voice actors have the ability to create your own epitaph, telling one's life and explaining their point of view, often intertwined or goes to counter the view and the story of another character: the Spoon River Anthology offers so the reality seen from different angles, in which the truth is always multiple, never unique.
Peter Brook, theater Brittan, said: "The Theatre has no class, but deals with the life. It is only a starting point, the only truly fundamental. Theatre is life . .
Well, the Spoon River Anthology is nothing more than this: the life of a small provincial town, with the struggles, the struggles, dreams and loves of ordinary people, pink with envy, crushed by suffering but also capable of a 'boundless humanity, of humanity that still touches us closely.
