Commedia dell'Arte and Noh theater to the entrance thanks to a project of the Italian Spring Festival in Japan, starring Kuniaki Ida . Japanese artist as a young man came to Europe to study the art of mime, as a teacher was one of the greatest artists of the genre, Jacques Lecoq. E 'then come Italy in the side of a smart girl and with the same passion, Marina Spreafico . In Milan have collaborated with the Theatre of Grock and then found a home of their own. They created a theater-school that she, above all, protected with tooth and nail not to have it destroyed: it was defended by Milan's cultural world, including a roaring Giogio Strehler. I am talking about Teatro Arsenale Via Cesare Correnti, now well established, where, as a guest, Kuniaki Ida returns after years of royal who did travel the world and especially in his native country. E 'teacher at the Academy Paolo Grassi in Milan with courses in theater and dance and drama, among his many activities.
Commissioned dal Ministero della Cultura Italiana e dalla Japan Foundation, i due spettacoli di Ruzante Parlamento e Bilora sono stati rappresentati grazie all'idea di mettere a confronto un genere di antica farsa giapponese del 1300 con la Commedia dell'Arte. Da vedere all'Arsenale solo dal 5 al 10 febbraio, Parlamento mostra con delicata poesia come la guerra serva a mandare al macello i poveri per soddisfare i bisogni dei potenti. In Bilora emerge la tragedia di chi lascia la propria casa, la famiglia e la terra dove vive per inseguire illusorie fotocopie di esistenza all'occidentale, da primo mondo. Kuniaki Ida cura la regia, le scenografie e l'impianto luci, Ambra Rinaldo i costumi e in palcoscenico vedremo Benjamin Caldiero, Angelo Crotti, Salvatore Di Natale, Cecilia Di Donato, Laura and Angela Pozone Battistllo lavish both performances. Here's what he said Kuniaki.
You have participated in the 'Italian Spring' in Japan with a project focused on a comparison of gender and the commedia dell'arte Kogen. How did it go?
am proud to have brought this show in the Noh Theater in Tokyo and Nagoya and other national theaters in Osaka and Kyoto. Not many foreigners come to play in these spaces. I worked with Ruzante using masks Donato Sartori, Amleto Sartori son of that which made all the masks for the Harlequin of Strehler and with whom he collaborated for many years. I a great success in Japan and now the port in Italy, starting from the Teatro Arsenale di Milano.
In Japan Ruzante know works?
It 'interesting that none or very few know him. Goldoni, yes, because it brought the Teatro Piccolo in the past, but I Ruzante is more interesting because it represents better the Italians. Even Jacques Locoq and Dario For, my great teachers, I said so.
Why?
Why is not the usual cliches of the commedia dell'arte. Beneath the comedy is a tragedy, the stories are full of wars, those who return and find the wife who has since fled. It is not the usual comedy of horns. The topics Ruzante are still alive, think of the Africans arriving, immigrants from the war who want to live here and their wives leave them, go with others. Below is a great hunger, desire to live, all this is in Ruzante. His comedy comes out, cracks and shows a tragic dimension.
Those who have worked with you in this endeavor?
job with Italian actors, and half of my company did the tour in Japan. They are between 6 and 27 to 55 years, my players hard. One was my student from Lecoq, an academy here Paolo Grassi, an Arsenal and so on. We know and work together for a long time. How did you put
in scena queste due opere?
In modo molto particolare perché nella commedia c'è un'immensa disperazione eppure io voglio far ridere. Questo è come l'inferno e il paradiso e ho scoperto che Ruzante è uno scrittore grande come Shakespeare. Non uso il linguaggio padovano di Ruzante ma nemmeno l'italiano, bensì napoletano, bergamasco e siciliano, come anche fa Ruzante. Lui era contrario che tutti parlassero solo la lingua di Firenze e preferiva il padovano, che è più colorata. Inoltre, i miei attori provengono da diverse regioni e parlano bene tantii dialetti.
Hai altri progetti in mente?
Tra aprile e maggio farò due opere per l'Arena di Verona, con 100 children's choir in white. Next October I Milva concerts in Japan. Work with her for 10-15 years as a director and she came to see my Ruzante. He had played many years ago, directed by Gianfranco De Bosio and then curious.
So you are planning an international tour?
Yes, I have already tried to go to Portugal, Spain, America and I would also return to Japan, where he has really enjoyed this show. Ruzante, I would say it is not Shakespeare but it's like Padua, everyone wants it and understand it. The French, for example, the most familiar with the study of the Italians. Now the Chinese are very interested and this will open the door of the theaters in China. How in the world, I have also asked the Festival of Colorado, USA.
Well, hold high our flag Italian!
I'm happy and honored to bring the Italian culture in the world and have much depth. I am a freelancer, I do school, I work, I have the company and this is my life.
