ICON

Persepolis

Running Time: 20 minutes

Persèpolis is a project that, through conventions of the physical theatre, aims to develop an actual and controversial topic such as diaspora of a population in war. This piece germinates in an expressive space in between dance and visual theatre, treating the distance among the Middle East and the occidental culture gently. This performance, freely inspired on Marjane Satrapi’s comic Persèpolis, uses a particular story to talk about a universal issue.

I Persiani

Running Time: 70 minutes

One of the most important piece of the occidental theatre, the oldest work passed in an integral form. It arrives through the centuries always with the same strength and is capacity to give to the audience a reflet of hard times. The show realised by the third year’s students told it through the storytelling, the choral movement, the dialogues and the typical masques of the commedia dell’arte.

 

Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th July, h 09.45 p.m.

Bilgi University/ Kadro Pa Company - Istanbul/ TURKEY

Macbeth in the kitchen

Running Time: 50 minutes

This play is indeed, to quote from Shakespeare himself, a tale told by an idiot. A self-proclaimed idiot, that is. The setting of this play is a kitchen really! The characters are the utensils and ingredients used in preparing the Turkish dish ‘menemen’, a traditional omelette. And the taste is good as the play.

 

Monday 11th e Tuesday 12th July, h 09.45 p.m.

Université Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis/ Palco Ensemble – Paris/ FRANCE

EXIL[S]

Running Time. 60 minutes

The necessity of travelling, lose our senses, and to find themselves in the wandering and the erring. These aspects of the exile, invoked as a poetic island, are the starting point to keep the traces left by the human beings. Reinventing the history of a person imagining the tracks of his existence: the stranger’s footprint crosses our road, a living being that release himself from a scrap of his history before dissolving himself in the dark.

 

Wednesday 13th July, h 09.30 p.m.

Accademia Nazionale d'Arte Drammatica Silvio D'Amico/ Compagnia L'Elefante – Rome/ ITALY

Margherita il diavolo lo sa

Running Time: 50 minutes

A house in the middle of the cherries, the vines goes up to the roof, the three light-window. Outside a lightly river, the far mountains, green fields, the silence. Since fifteen years Margarita and his master they wake up, they smile themselves, and they live in peace in their eternal home. Moscow is a far memory. A forgotten dream. Maybe never existed.
