The season of the theatrical shows
This is the season of the theatre and often to Cats of Sea I accomodate actors and staff of the theatre.
This time there have arrived the boys who are responsible of “behind the fifth ones” and who sincerely do an incredibly hard work, between schedules absurd and raised incredible to reach the theatres of half an Italy.
I would want to thank Gian Mary for the tickets!!!!
Pamela Villoresi, with the dramatist Giuseppe Manfridi and the director Maurizio Panici says the last twenty years of artistic life of Marlene Dietrich, that they go from 1954 until 1975, before a long sickness did not force the actress and singer to leave the scene.
Marlene, (a production of the Theatrical Association Pistoiese), presents, through three moments that precede as many concerts, the personage of the Dietrich in his disastrous personal intimacy and in his extraordinary artistic size.
Three chapters unwind in chambers of hotel or in dressing rooms, when Marlene was happening while it gets ready to enter into scene to London in 1954, to Berlin in 1960, and to Toronto in 1975.
The text the everlasting creator underlines also the figure of the "Mefistofele", the director Josef Von Sternberg, de L' Angelo blue, what much contributed to the glory of the Dietrich but that fomented not a little his monstrous perfection thirst.
It was him whom Marlene herself persuaded to have to take out four molars to emphasise his zigomi.
Manfridi chooses to open and to close the show with Von Sternberg, also at cost of six years to make it seem restored to life after his death, through the imagination of the protagonist.
It highlights so the Mephistophelean list of the well-known director.
In the central part of the show, an intelligent writing and an extraordinary interpretation they manage to make emerging the whole Marlene's complexity.
The text has the merit of rebuilding at the same time the private and artistic life of the goddess.
At his chamber of hotel or at his dressing room his problematic personal accounts are known, but also his songs and his most beautiful customs (the perfect the work of Lucia Mariani).
But someone everything is held on the new goddess, who to interpret the Dietrich is made thin fourteen kilogrammes and has lowered his vocalic gamma of two tones.
Daily palestra and constant exercises have let her be identified by Marlene.
And the result, sincerely, is incredible.
Pamela Villoresi has completely come down in his personage, it recites with extreme truthfulness, does not seem not to find any difficulty.
Helped by customs, tricks and wigs, it incarnates with probability the goddess so as it had to be in the concerts of London, Berlin and Toronto.
And it does not lose strength even when it is compared by a Marlene twenty years older compared to the first scene: it looks absolutely to his comfort also with voice and aged movements.
Next to her David Sebasti incarnates an impetuous but sweet Burt Bacharch with his lover; confident in the recitation and I boast also in the singing.
The weakest the Tami figures, the woman who had a long time an account with the Dietrich and who then died in mental hospital, interpreted by Cristina Sebastianelli.
The daughter Kater, the principal victim of the untidy life of Marlene, authoress of the biography that denounced the disorderliness it, is entrusted without wrong notes to Sivlia Budri.
