From October 28^th to November 1^st, Marco Martinelli and Ermanna Montanari are at the Chickenshed Theatre in London to lead the international theatre workshop Classic Jests, Modern Vibes: Aristophanes at Chickenshed.
Experienced in the recent ‘Public Calls’ dedicated to Dante Alighieri’s Comedy and to Don Quixote, open to citizens of all ages, Martinelli and Montanari, founders and artistic directors of Teatro delle Albe, will work on Peace, a comedy by the Greek playwright Aristophanes.
The workshop brings together a diverse group of people: young people from the north-east outskirts of London and students in Arts and Humanities from the Universities of Parma, Bristol, and UCL.
The forty participants will compare their differences in a fertile and creative short circuit to ‘bring to life’ (expression dear to Martinelli) Aristophanes’ work. In fact, the workshop will end with a demonstration performance open to the public on November 1^st at 6:30 pm.
