The new artistic season at the Teatro CortéSe ai Colli Aminei continues with a highly anticipated show dedicated to Totò, entitled "Totò: Poems and Songs – Prince of Smiles and King of Emotions." The opera will be performed on January 31st and February 1st at 21:00 PM, and on February 2nd at 18:00 PM, at the theater on Viale del Capricorno.
Under the direction of Anna Sciotti and with the artistic consultancy of Giuseppe Giorgio, the show will see the participation of Gianni Caputo, author of the dramaturgy, in the company of Francesca Curti Giardina.
Focus on Totò
The show aims to overcome the stereotypes associated with Totò, offering a glimpse into the man behind the iconic mask. Gianni Caputo emphasizes the importance of exploring beyond the facade to understand Prince Antonio De Curtis: “Totò: the man beyond the myth, the person beyond the mask”.
A tribute to the art of Totò
The aim is to bring the public closer to Totò through poems and songs, as well as stories of his private life. According to Caputo, Totò's poems reveal the deepest aspects of his sensitivity and his passionate view of the world. Gianni Caputo and Francesca Curti Giardina are committed to offering a sincere tribute to the artist, allowing viewers to get to know his multifaceted figure more closely.
I don't know if this new work on Totò could be interesting, but it seems to me that the theme of the man behind the mask has already been discussed. However, I'm curious to see how this show will develop and what new aspects will be explored.
