SUCCESS EMMA DANTE

Elisa Ferrari

These days you can see the stage of the CRT 'invaded' by the performance of players in the South West Coast company headed by Emma Dante.

At the opening of exhibition 'of Mishelle Sant'Oliva', to play a father and child that explores the difficult relationship between two human beings viscerally linked in memory of a 'lover / mother / dancer.

Then 'Carnezzeria' bond of blood between brothers to regain the honor they hold a ritual drama beneath the surface of a joyful holiday event. And again 'The Scimia' then 'mPalermu' and 'My Life' closing. Almost the entire theater of Dante, in the form of intimate poetry, scours the toughest issues of a Sicilian ancient and deeply rooted.

The director pays homage to his audience by offering events that have accompanied it throughout his artistic career, shows that the growth would lead confirmations have made important, even through various awards such as' Scenario Award 2001 'by' mPalermu 'and' Ubu Prize '2002 and 2003 respectively with' mPalermu 'and' Carnezzeria '.

In turn the CRT pays tribute to the young creative housed in this original initiative, which becomes important place of exchange.

Right at Teatro Dell'Arte Emma Dante debuted eight years ago with 'mPalermu' when he already had a solid career actress and some shows she created and directed, but had not yet established itself as a director. The CRT has contributed to its artistic statement and the resonance of this name and these shows are having the show in Italy and abroad.

Yes, besides Italy. Beyond the Alps there are 'public' who like to enjoy the performances of the Sicilian playwright.

Between May and June, the company debuted at Rond Point in Paris, one of the most popular theaters in the city's bohemian who fled a curious audience and 'alternative'. For six weeks, the actors have trod the South West Coast the scenes of the prestigious theater, taking the spotlight 'of Mishelle Sant'Oliva' and 'My Life'. This has literally fall in love with the director Michel Ribes, according to which Emma Dante is able to analyze the deeper nodes of human relations by addressing sensitive issues such as death, but absolutely present and transsexuality with great freshness, a language very close to his idea theater, probably a 'universal language' that does not require a translation of the texts, but a simple subtitling.

The Sicilian dialect remains intact, the message arrives, however, supported by body language and a chant that like a mantra, absorbs the attention of the audience beyond the Alps.

year 2007 was another milestone for Emma Dante and the boys of his company, the Festival of Liège in Belgium, directed by Jean Louis Colinet, who also directs the Théâtre National in Brussels. This festival, held every two years, aims to disseminate contemporary performing arts.

In reality, the Sicilian artists were already guests in 2005 with 'The scim', a show that reflects on the significance of religion in a society may be too conservative. This year the festival has brought to his audience 'Dogs of bank' , One of the most complex to show the density and number of signs and stage dialects. The audience reacted positively. Why? Why in any case it is a theater that holds about universal themes and deep. A theater, that of Dante, free of pomp and excess, then. An intimate theater, almost as if in a chant, the human being brings to the stage in all its frustrations and its fragility. A theater full of folklore as a mirror reflecting the soul of who is watching from the audience. This is probably the strength of a theater that communicates universally.
