Year unfortunate, for theater, for Hollywood in Italy: after the attempt is not entirely centered in John Turturro with the Italian folktales by Calvin, Pitre and Basile, John Malkovich turn to disappoint the expectations of the public come to watch his portrayal of Jack Unterweger in The Infernal Comedy Viennese author and filmmaker Michael Sturminger .
challenge is the heat of the Tuscan, intrigued by a show of international invoice (debuted in California in 2008 and passed to the Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto), the most confident of closing a year full of visions and shows.
The show promises to be interesting and ambitious: not only theater of words, since to accompany the monologue Assassin are a baroque orchestral training (with the Wiener Akademie Orchestra, directed by Martin Haselböck ) and the actions of two soprano (Laura Aikin and Aleksandra Zamojska), evidence of a productive effort far from irrelevant.
The idea, then, that to assume the role of a crafty murderess, the eventful history and full of surprises, is one of the most ambiguous of world cinema causes the public of the beautiful square of Prato is prepared to attend a real event.
Here, then, John, white dress and black, slender, sharp, direct trajectory. The theater, especially the theater in the streets, where the distances are set to increase, deprives him of his weapon main actors the face. You can not play sull'increspatura eyebrows, at the smallest, minute changes in the expression, touch and subtle details and close-up magic that amplify enormously: the theater is the art of gesture round of white on his face, the amplitude of movements. If this text is added to thin - played on a sense of humor almost never well-led, which is always far more straightforward and the macabre and the finest fencing, here that Malkovich finds himself playing in an unknown field, forced to interpret halfway between the stand-up comedian and the character-who-should-be. Does not disturb and even laugh , also a leading voice at all in keeping with "his" character and that the killer dropped in English limping Austrian is no center, no depth, no depth.
One debacle. debacle that Malkovich can do little or nothing, even with some small passage where the text would seem to tap some ideas worthy : nothing shocking, in a nutshell reflections on the concept of truth, guilt and innocence, which remain the ' object of investigation most of the drama and narrative.
applause out there, it's true, but I'm pretty shy, especially when compared to the stature of the cast. Do you see smiles stretched, broken dreams, a feminine audience make ready to orgasm, which was promptly betrayed. Too bad, not so much for expectations disappointed, but for a show ill-conceived and badly implemented, could aspire to great results and, instead, is mired in the tired and revised scheme of superstar feed the public. It happened like this, just to add, if not a goodbye to all in September.
