\u201cLa strana pieta\u0300 del signor Bertolt Brecht e altre malinconie teatrali<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cTeatro provincia dell\u2019uomo<\/strong>\u201d are the two books by Fernando Mastropasqua that we will present next week. The \u00a0first\u00a0is a book that aims to look at the theater from a particular perspective: ignoring the chronological succession, taking into consideration those moments in which the theater has shown life in its ephemeral and senseless essence, with that ironic and thoughtful melancholy that had distinguished the creations of Ettore Petrolini in Variety. The attitude, shared by Brecht, an intense presence in Karl Valentin\u2019s cabaret, originates in the severe and sorrowful gaze of Sophocles. This is why the essay on Brecht\u2019s Piet\u00e0, on the harsh suffering of the silent scream of\u00a0Mother Courage\u00a0opens the itinerary. The second book\u00a0is inspired, in its title and method, by the book by Elias Canetti, \u201cLa provincia dell\u2019uomo\u201d. The volume consists of two parts. In the first some fundamental moments in the history of the theater are taken into consideration, such as the Greek theater and the Elizabethan theater, and some innovative theories, from Craig to Stanislavkij, in which the actor\u2019s research is aimed at giving a symbolic or realistic image , of human nature, in its truth and in its fragility. A fragment, taken from the Living Theater\u2019s Antigone, illuminates the discourse. The second part is dedicated to the reconstruction of the text and of Carmelo Bene\u2019s video-work, Hommelette for Hamlet, in which echoes of Shakespeare\u2019s and Laforgue\u2019s Hamlet are reflected, based on the vision of the Lacanian Man. The reconstruction is accompanied by a detailed commentary on all the situations in which the protagonist, a strange cemetery Hamlet surrounded by statues by Bernini who come to life and participate in the representation, finds himself involved.<\/p>\r\n
