Theatrical performance with iconographic screenings
"GLI ANTENATI DI ARLECCHINO"
(The Ancestors of Harlequin)
with Claudia Contin Arlecchino and Luca Fantinutti
German translations by Rudi Risatti
A show dedicated to the ancient iconographic imaginary
that gave life to the timeless mask of Harlequin. 
The journey reconstructed by Claudia Contin Arlecchino,
starts from Dante Alighieri's Alichino, from the figure of Hellequin and the Masked Wild Men in French charivaries, from the proto-Surrealist vision of Hieronymus Bosch, of which the triptych painting of the "Last Judgement" is housed in the Viennese collections of the Academy Galleries, up to the "Temptations" by Lodovico Ottavio Burnacini. Luca Fantinutti's musical research, with arrangements from themes between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries, will accompany the screening of images, the choreographies of the transformist Harlequin on stage and the songs of ancient poems and sonnets.
