YUM!! I’LL EAT YOU
featuring Domenico Madera and Alessia Rosi of Teatroleonde

A fat, gluttonous little shepherdess spreads fear amongst her sheep; terror increases as a wolf by the long, sharp teeth arrives; fortunately it’s not the usual, sheep-eating wolf, but…

2017 has been an extraordinary year for Levante, marked by her successful last record Nel caos di stanze stupefacenti, her first novel Se non ti vedo non esisti (Rizzoli), two sold-out tours and, hear ye, her TV debut on X Factor; time to go on and tread the boards with her new 2018 show.

After Europe, the tour will hit Italy and on Saturday 24 February it’ll be staged at the Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti in Spoleto, in a version which is more suitable to the theatre frame.

Caos in teatro tour 2018 includes 14 concerts in the main Italian theatres. Levante will present her last work and the songs which marked her artistic career in brand new arrangements.

VIAGGIATORI sulla FLAMINIA is a contemporary art event conceived by Studio A’87 Spoleto, soon after the Umbria/Marche 1997 seismic swarm; the present 10th edition introduces the 2016 travels in the Valnerina, in and around Preci and Norcia, interrupted by the last earthquake of 30 October: it is an invitation to investigate on the human condition, on the complex survival patterns and it is meant as an encouragement to life, to the spiritual values and to the protection of the environment, against neglect, desertion and the depopulation of the mountains and the small burgs.

Flaminia / Valnerina (Spoleto, Cascia, Sellano, Bevagna, Cannara, Cerreto di Spoleto, Acera di Campello, Sant’Anatolia di Narco, Vallo di Nera, Scheggino, Ferentillo, Poggiodomo, Monteleone di Spoleto, Trevi.
Project: Franco Troiani / Studio A’87, curated by Emanuele De Donno, Giuliano Macchia, Fulvio Porena, Franco Troiani.

The Woman’s status in Ancient Times

On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, the Spoleto Archaeological Museum and Roman Theatre organizes a guided visit.

2017/2018 Prose Season
27 October 2017 – 8 March 2018

Ottavia Piccolo, Massimo Dapporto, Monica Guerritore, Francesca Reggiani, Asia Argento, Filippo Dini, David Coco, Liv Ferracchiati are but some of the protagonists of the Spoleto 2017-2018 Prose Season that includes 7 plays, six at the Teatro Nuovo and one at the Caio Melisso.

The start is on Friday 27 October at 21 at the Teatro Nuovo “Menotti” with Occident Express (Haifa è nata per star ferma). Written by Stefano Massini, it features Ottavia Piccolo and the Orchestra Multietnica di Arezzo. In 2015 an old woman from Mosul flees with her 4-yo granddaughter, covering 5.000 Km from Iraq to the Baltic Sea, across the so-called Balcan Route. This is her story.

Friday 24 November at 21, at the Teatro Nuovo, it’s the turn of Mariti e Mogli, adapted and directed by Monica Guerritore who is also in the cast along with Francesca Reggiani. The play is freely adapted from Woody Allen’s much praised film.

Saturday 9 December at 21, again at the Teatro Nuovo, Massimo Dapporto is the protagonist of Un borghese piccolo piccolo, extraordinary novel by Vincenzo Cerami who inspired Monicelli’s cinema masterpiece, a tragic comedy that offers hilarious moments. Adaptation and direction by Fabrizio Coniglio.

Monday 8 and Tuesday 9 January at 21 and Wednesday 10 January at 18 at the Teatro Caio Melisso – spazio Carla Fendi, it is the time of Todi is a small town in the center of Italy, written and directed by Liv Ferracchiati. What is life like in an Italian small town? Michele, Stella, Elisa and Caroline are four guys from Todi. A fifth character, a documentarist, connects fiction to reality observing and noting the features of the city and its inhabitants. What is life like in a place where everybody knows everyone? What should you rather avoid doing in Todi? These are but some of the questions that were actually asked to more than a hundred people in Todi, that the play aims at giving back through a collage that supports the story of the four protagonists.

Saturday 20 January at 21 at the Teatro Nuovo, the Györ Ballet Company (one of the oldest, most praised European contemporary dance companies) will stage two masterpieces, Maurice Ravel’s  Bolero and Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana.

Friday 9 February at 21, Teatro Nuovo, Il Giuramento by Claudio Fava, directed by Ninni Bruschetta and featuring David Coco. Heads, you can count them or cut them. The fascist regime didn’t choose one. It counted 1238 and cut twelve, casual heroes of those who only have left an extreme resource of dignity, that of refusal. This happened on 13 November 1931. The theatre play tells the story of one of them.

Thursday 8 March at 21 at the Teatro Nuovo, the closing play will be Rosalind Franklin. Il segreto della vita by Anna Ziegler, directed by Filippo Dini, featuring Asia Argento, Filippo Dini. The Great History, the discovery of DNA, and the extraordinary tale of scientist Rosalind Franklin’s last years, facing one of the most important, debated discoveries in the history of scientific research.

ROSSO
Mosè Chiavoni (clarinet/soprano saxophone) and Luciano Biondini (accordeon) in concert
Welcome tasting with organic wine by Cantina Di Filippo
Entrance fee: € 10.00

Mosè Chiavoni (clarinet/soprano saxophone) and Luciano Biondini (accordeon), both Umbrian, present “Rosso”, a captivating journey through Klezmer music with original pieces characterized by a Central European sound. A musical idea, both distant from and close to them, and shared for a long time, which allows them to masterfully interact in a chamber music that resonates with improvisation as well as with echoes of different geographical origins. The duo plays with sound volumes and speed, without ever losing sight of music’s singability and rhythmic drive.

The project BORN TO READ, that includes meetings of animated reading dedicated to children, parents, grandparents and educators, goes on with the following appointments, scheduled as usual at the Public Library in Palazzo Mauri at 17.00

LECTURAE DANTIS 2017 
From 6 October to 21 December at the Public Library, Palazzo Mauri

After the success of the last years, the integral reading of Dante’s Divine Comedy resumes from October 6 to December 21, each Friday afternoon at 17 by the Public library in Palazzo Mauri; this leg includes the reading of 11 cantos from the Paradise, from the XIIth to the XXIInd.

Readings will be by actor Claudio Trionfi, with comments by academics co-ordinated by professor Rodney John Lokaj.

During the event, (October through December) some editions of the Divine Comedy owned by the Public Library will be on display, including the 1484 Venetian incunabulus commented by Cristoforo Landino (1424 – 1498).

Nine cycles of reading have already taken place, that featured the first two canticas, and Hell’s first 11 cantos. The experience shows the modern interest in Dante and his work.

Lectura Dantis is a specific form of divulgation à haute voix, historically well defined and codified, which originated in the XIVth century thanks to Giovanni Boccaccio, and evolved through the ages, yet respecting the traditional interconnection between verse reading and exegetical comment.
