\u201cGuarattella\u201d is an old Neapolitan word which translates as: \u201can initially very simple situation that evolves into a very confusing one\u201d. The word is still used in Naples to indicate when people clumsily succumb to an otherwise mundane situation.<\/p>\n
In theatres however, the \u201cguarattelle\u201d are the traditional Neapolitan Puppetry shows. Some of the stories are based on old canvases, dating back to the 1600s. In these stories, Pulcinella meets, and often fights, typical characters from folk theatre: the wicked man, the fierce dog, the executioner, the Grim Reaper… The conflict that develops from these meetings is always funny, irreverent, cathartic, and moves forward with an unstoppable rhythm.
\nThese stories have been passed down through the centuries and Gianluca has been performing them for more that fifteen years with his little Puppetry Theatre.
\nPulcinella is a well-known character but one may not be familiar with his voice when performed in a puppetry show. A magic and powerful voice, similar to the quack of a duck and that is handed down with an old and mysterious technique from teacher to pupil.
\n\u201cLe Guarattelle di Pulcinella\u201d is a fast paced and entertaining show.
\nIt is suitable for an audience from 4 to 100+ years old, works also as a relief against worries and has no side effects. Do not miss it…
\nSuitable for 4 year and older audiences<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
