With Jurij Ferrini
Zanetto, the silly son of a merchant, has a twin brother, Tonino, who is gifted with great intelligence and charm. A series of coincidences and misunderstandings gives rise to an exchange between the two, which therefore find themselves at the centre of various vicissitudes. Goldonian masterpiece of freshness, dynamism and airiness, “The two Venetian twins” is a comedy full of misunderstandings, exchanges of person, expedients and cadences of the Commedia dell’Arte. A show of pure fun. The single tickets (20 euro inside, 18 reduced under 26 and over 65) are on sale on Friday afternoon, from 3 to 7 pm, at the theatre box office in Piazza Carlo Alberto or online at www.piemonteticket.it.

“Azzurra balena”
9th FEBRUARY AT 4 pm
Politeama Boglione Theatre
Azzurra Balena, a papier-mâché whale, was built with so much love, so much feeling, to the point of remaining imprinted on it, between the glue and the sheets, the dream of living the sea and its inhabitants. He longs for the sea and becomes a whale in the flesh and … baleen, which he finally succeeds with the help of some characters and a monk seal. She manages to become a whale thanks to the journey she will make by sea; a large and welcoming sea, able to forgive and punish, heat and repair, which always reserves new surprises. A long journey in the Tyrrhenian Sea, with surprise encounters, to conquer life. The show has won the national fairy-tale mountain tales in Abruzzo organized by the TFA-Teatro di Figura Abruzzese. Show for children and families. The single tickets (5 euro adult, free child) are on sale in the afternoon at the theatre box office in Piazza Carlo Alberto or www.piemonteticket.it.

“Bartleby”
FEBRUARY 22nd AT 9pm
Politeama Boglione Theatre
With Leo Gullotta
Directed by Emanuele Gamba
Bartleby makes the scribe: he copies and diligently compiles the papers that his master passes to him. One day he decides to answer any request, from the simplest to the most normal in the workplace, with a phrase: “I would prefer not to.” A gentle refusal that paralyzes work and logic. An innovative and atypical drama: accustomed to the idea of development and growth without limit with which we grew up, Bartleby leaves us puzzled, in him no aspiration to greatness, only renunciation. The single tickets (20 euro inside, 18 reduced under 26 and over 65) are on sale on Friday afternoon, from 3 to 7 pm, at the theatre box office in Piazza Carlo Alberto or on www.piemonteticket.it.
