Compagnia Signor Formicola (IT) Varietà mutanda
Dutch premiereMr. Oreste lives in his small house, a one-room apartment where everything is perfect: kitchen, living room with sofa, bathroom. Mr. Oreste spends his days at home, constantly in his underwear, waiting for the moment of his performance. He turns on the radio, the music hits him and overwhelms him. The music is over and Mr Oreste urgently needs to go to the toilet, but forget to flush…
As a versatile artist, Alessandro Sanzone (Turin, 1980) of Compagnia Signor Formicola has over the years experimented with and researched different forms of artistic expression, ranging from sculpture to painting and then to puppet theatre, which he fell in love with. Mainly self-taught, he followed courses with world-famous masters (including the Australian puppeteer Neville Trante of Stuffed Puppet Theater who lives in the Netherlands). He varies with different construction and animation techniques, including hand puppets, rope puppets and table puppets.
