Trio de commedia – Festival International de Commedia dell’Arte
Theatre
20 June 2025
Three stories for three characters (and a musician) in search of humor... Conceived in a traditional but largely offbeat style, these sketches use mime, singing and fencing... and a good dose of impertinence!
馃幁 Anti-Antigone
Columbine wants to play a tragedy and convinces Pantalone, here the director of a troupe, to stage Antigone. Everything seems ready... until the Captain, supposed to play the dead brother, arrives completely drunk. Between thwarted ambitions and uncontrolled laughter, the tragedy turns into farce.
馃幁 The Old Men in Love
It's Isabella's birthday! But the young girl didn't expect to receive two suitors as a gift: Pantalone and Doctor Graziano, both as old as they are ridiculous, are vying to win her heart. But Isabella is far from having said her last word...
馃幁 The Spanish Lovers
Isabella loves Flavio. But her father, the miserly Pantalone, has promised her hand to a Spanish captain, rich and glorious... at least on the surface. To save his love, Flavio challenges the captain to a duel, determined to prove that the heart is worth more than fortune.
In this whirlwind show, the legendary characters of the commedia鈥擯antalone, Columbine, the Doctor, the Captain, Flavio, Isabella鈥攄eploy all their charm and madness to intrigue and make people laugh.
