Ferdinando Ceriani & Carla Ferraro
That Instrument Was Out Of Tune
Anxiety/calmness, waiting/action, anger/love, illusion/defeat are some of the contrasts suggested by one of most remarkable Italian playwrights Franco Molè, in his play Large concert for Broogh, which will serve as a base for the workshop. Some fragments form the text will be chosen as an ideal ring in which to explore the emotions as living material for the actor. The workshop focuses on the body as expressive medium and will engage the participants in a practicle way towards the creation of microperfromances, using various scenes from the play.
