debut for Italian Auntie and me, a black comedy Canadian author
Igor Vazzaz
Paradoxical and black, humorous, sometimes cynical, but not too bad, Auntie and Me, a comedy by Morris Panych ever to debut in Italy. The Canadian playwright, living is among the most interesting contemporary authors writing in English and married to a successful practice as an actor, not just theater. The pièce
in question is the result of a reworking of the 1995 comedy, Vigil, adapted after seven years at the Edinburgh Festival: featuring two "suns", Kemp, disappointed man, beyond the threshold of maturity, and Grace, his aunt dying. At the news of the imminent death, he abandons all of its jobs to go at the home of relatives, hoping to assist during the transition and take advantage inheritance of affective as well as material. The wrecked plane miserably: the woman, as silent and confined to bed, does not show the slightest intention of defungere, soon led to exasperation the victim's nephew. It opens fake dialog (it's really just talking Kemp) to invest death, suffering, disappointments, where the man ends by recalling the critical stages (never term was more suitable for this purpose) of your life. Time passes, relentless, and he begins to rave: the attempts to convince the woman to decide to die, go to design real gimmicks to kill her, to no avail, in fact, suffering from their comic effect, like in a novel and human Willy E. Coyote. Do not miss the shots of the scene, they fail to anticipate. Suffice it to say that history, in the end, confronts two men abandoned their emotional setbacks, their idiosyncrasies, their unacknowledged hunger for affection in the rubble that is completely ordinary existence.
For this first Italian, the director (and production designer) Fortunato Cerlino traits creates a metaphysical space, a vast chamber suspended in the large black nothing of the beautiful proscenium Teatro Dante Campi Bisenzio of . A bed on the right, a wardrobe of background, a single output for the room that houses the two actors, Alessandro Benvenuti and Barbara Valmorin . He, Tuscan less than usual, Kemp is a stubborn, incattivito, childish anger never compensated for a disappointing life nourished dell'estenuante waiting for a death that takes on the traits of absence godottiana. She is solemn, impassive sphinx in and hide, like any self-respecting sphinx, a secret, the disclosure will color the farcical tone and forced cohabitation of two unlikely characters.
The play proceeds by lightning dramaturgical scenes punctuated by darkness closed, gas stations, an absurd drama tones: Grace Kemp and reminiscent of Beckett's Vladimir and Estragon, but also some of Chekhov's characters, clown performances, invalidity to hatch losers infinite anger within. And both are great performers to dig the shades: Welcome, body more than ever, does flicks, exhausted and full of comic emphasis, which is matched by the perfect placidity of cruelty Valmorin, in a compelling contrast.
Writing Panych jerky, almost playing itself disown: to alternate moments of rare intensity are easy, the result of ingenuity not dramatic, but clever play of this page, able to juggle the range of tones and nuances of writing. Laughter and a lot, but at the same time it feels tenderness and sympathy for these poor, clumsy, awkward, especially in the evidence meanness in their misery, forced by a mocking fate to share the same room. After all, look like us more than you can imagine.
