The OPRE season of the Teatro Sociale di Valenza has been presented

VALENCE – The OPEN season of the Teatro Sociale di Valenza begins on November 4th, inserted in a project that includes many souls and makes the Theater a multifunctional space for citizenship. OPENS, in the intentions of the artistic director Roberto Tarascohas always been linked to a literary reference and, this year, it is Mayakovsky’s turn: “Listen! If they light up the stars, it means that someone needs them? “. Poetry, speech, music, dance and bodily expression are stars and their need is celebrated in a beautiful place like the Sociale, where the shows on the bill are accompanied by courses in theater and music for all ages of Pedagogical value, the cinema, which will return shortly, and the programming of animated readings and workshops aimed at children, this year at the Municipal Culture Center. There are six APRE appointments, with the organization of the Coop CMC / Nidodiragno, directed by Angelo Giacobbeand the Piemonte dal Vivo Foundation, under the aegis of the Municipality of Valenza, “a ride between emotions, suggestions and encounters, with a look at contemporaneity and new languages”Explains Jacob.

To inaugurate the bill, Friday 4 November, is “Things we would not have hoped to be able to tell you”, a pyrotechnic show that unites the writer and popularizer on the same stage Roberto Mercadini (over 155,000 followers of his YouTube channel) e Guido Catalano, a real rock star of Italian poetry. Mercadini and Catalano, similar and complementary, opposite and analogous, tell of their solitary vicissitudes and their long friendship, between obvious similarities and equally obvious differences: an unprecedented encounter between two brilliant human and artistic sensibilities.

The writer and playwright will be on stage on Saturday 26 November Stefano Massini, protagonist of “Alphabet of emotions”, a poignant and ironic journey into the labyrinth of our feelings. Through an imaginary alphabet in which each letter represents an emotion (P for Fear, F for Happiness …), Massini drags the audience into a succession of stories: from Arthur Conan Doyle, who tests his friends on the subject of doubt to Marc Chagall, who fails to react to the disappearance of Bella Rosenfeld, up to Al Capone, a very powerful and ferocious boss, who trembles at the sight of a syringe. With irresistible flair and fun, Massini stages all the strength and fragility of the human being.

The show on Friday 9 December is a show of great energy: “Prometeo”, directed by Gabriele Vacis and the scenophony of Roberto Tarascoinvestigates the profound meaning of Aeschylus’ tragedy, restoring all its powerful contemporaneity thanks to the strength of the eleven young actors of the group PEM Multimedia Evoked Potentials, just applauded at the debut at the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, as part of the prestigious Cycle of Classical Shows. In their bodies, animated by the words of Aeschylus, the myth of that Prometheus relives, the bearer of knowledge but also a symbol of rebellion and courage. An extraordinary dramaturgical journey, shared by Vacis with all the actors, which crosses words, physical action, singing and music.

“Un Poyo Rojo”, the show scheduled for regional premiere on Saturday 4 February as part of the widespread contemporary dance festival “We Speak Dance”, is a project born in Buenos Aires in 2008 by the choreographers and performers Nicolàs Poggi and Luciano Rosso. Since then he has toured the world on a tour that has touched Central and South America, Europe and New Caledonia, recording a full house everywhere. An explosive show, which contaminates dance and athletics, martial arts and acrobatics, clowning and variety: a funny body score, animated by the talented Alfonso Barón and Luciano Rosso, made up of seduction and conflict, desire and comedy.

Saturday 18 February an appreciated local reality, namely the Spazio Idea company, directed by Simona Barbero, revives the theater of Carlo Goldoni on the Valencian stage with a large group of actors. Freely based on the comedy “Gl’innamorati”, in which Goldoni questioned the theatrical system that forced the actors destined to the role of lovers to act in an emphatic and conventional way, the show is a very effective example of theater within the theater. Because “the way of the theater – says Barbero – opens the doors of the possible, helps to imagine: it is a powerful collective ritual that calls humanity together around different themes from time to time“.

The new season of the Teatro Sociale di Valenza closes on Friday 3 March (twenty years after the death of Giorgio Gaber), the show “The child god”. Third chapter of the theater of evocation by Gaber and Luporini, The child god is a contemporary tragicomic text on the crisis of a middle-aged man, poised between responsibility and eternal adolescence. The direction by Giorgio Gallione enhances its relevance and empathy and finds a perfect combination with the interpretation of the talented actor of cinema, theater and TV Fabio Troiano which, counterpointed by the songs of Gaber, returns the irony, the cynicism but also the tenderness of this piece. A tribute to Giorgio Gaber’s theater and a sort of “homecoming”, because it is at the Teatro Sociale that the show Il dio Bambino has covered an important part of its production process.

The tickets for “Things we would not have hoped to be able to tell you”, “Alphabet of emotions”, “The child god” cost € 20 full / reduced € 15, the shows “Prometeo”, “Un Poyo Rojo”, “Gl’innamorati ”€ 15 full / reduced € 10. The Theater card for all six shows costs 75 euros. The presale is already active.

As part of the programming of the Social Theater there will be jazz events of the highest order. Waiting for the second edition of the Blue Jazz festival, by virtue of the collaboration with Torino Jazz Festival Piemonte, Thursday 20 October the curtain will rise on the concert of the Montreal Jazzlab Orchestraa true institution in the Canadian jazz world since 2004

The appointments of Valenza Alchemica will begin on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 October, on the occasion of the first anniversary of the death of Yel Bosco. A title that refers both to the meaning of “Valence” in chemistry, that is there ability of atoms to combine with each other, and, in the city of gold, alchemy that transforms matter and combines the knowledge of each discipline within itself. Thus the project will combine theater, music, dance, literature, design, science and spirituality together, creating a unique and fascinating event. Valenza Alchemica is inspired by the memory and creativity of Yel, a fundamental figure in the creation of an original and unprecedented cultural environment for the Teatro Sociale and for the City of Valenza, and, thanks to the support of the Bosco family, all Valencian citizens will have free access, prior reservation, for shows, which will be held, as well as at the Social, in various buildings of the city.

Yel Bosco’s work crossed new languages, from electronic music to children’s storytelling, from physical theater to jazz derivations and was mostly aimed at a young audience. For this reason, one year after his untimely death, a two-day event was developed that was able to propose an interesting intertwining that points to the freshest contemporaneity. The most brilliant stand up poetry is the protagonist, Lorenzo Maragonin a performance poetry show on October 28, and, on October 29, the company Pem in “SuperGiovanni” from the children’s book by Yel Fabio Bosco with adaptation and direction by Roberto Tarasco.
