La dieta mediterranea di Shakespeare al cinema
No full textL’intervento propone un breve viaggio tra diverse versioni cinematografiche di alcuni testi shakespeariani ambientati in Italia, i cosiddetti Italianate plays, per mostrare come la rappresentazione del cibo al cinema non sia casuale, ma sia al contrario un elemento importante che i vari registi recuperano da Shakespeare e di cui fanno uso per gli scopi più diversi. Tra i film presi in considerazione The Taming of the Shrew (1967) e Romeo and Juliet (1968) di Franco Zeffirelli, Much Ado About Nothing (1993) di Kenneth Branagh e A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999) di Michael Hoffman
Shakespeare negli istituti penali minorili
No full textIl capitolo indaga la presenza di Shakespeare negli istituti di pena minorili in Italia, non esistendo, a oggi, una ricognizione completa delle attività svolte all'interno dei diciassette IPM della nostra penisola, essendo la diffusione di molte di queste iniziative talvolta protetta dalla tutela della privacy dei minori coinvolti e spesso limitata al territorio circostante o ai convegni per gli specialisti.
Grazie a varie associazioni e cooperative, da Puntozero al Beccaria di Milano al Teatro Kismet OperA al Fornelli di Bari, dal Teatro del Pratello a Bologna all’Officina di Teatro Sociale Adynaton a Casal del Marmo a Roma, per citarne solo alcune, dietro le mura di questi istituti c’è un grandissimo fermento e molti laboratori teatrali traggono ispirazione proprio dalle opere di Shakespeare.The chapter explore the workshops revolving around Shakespeare projects in some of the seventeen Juvenile Detention Centres (IPM) in Italy. "Romeo and Juliet" resulted as the obvious and right play to work with young actors for a number of motives. First and foremost, even if many of the teenagers or young adults involved, for very different reasons, have never read, seen, or even heard about any of Shakespeare’s works, they find themselves particularly sympathetic to the traumas for juvenile violence, civil war, enforced separation the play deals with. Undoubtedly, as many commentators have pointed out, this almost archetypal story of two young lovers "locked in conflict with parents and peers, cherishing the uniqueness of their passion, and trying insuccessfully to integrate it with a hostile and authoritarian adult world” appeals directly to young people
Spie al museo
No full textAmong the spaces inhabited and crossed by spies and spy stories, that of the museum is certainly one of the most intriguing. This essay analyses different spy figures who, for very different reasons and in very different contexts (both real and fictitious), have related with museums: Sir Anthony Blunt, the connoisseurs working in disguise for KGB in Alan Bennett’s play A Question of Attribution (1988), and the Russian secret agents working in an operation’s room hidden in the basement of the Hermitage museum in St. Petersburg in the spy story Op-Center. Mirror Image (1981) by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik, written by Jeff Rovin. There are many reasons for this fortunate marriage between museums and espionage. First of all, the fact that museums prioritize the visual experience make them a very pregnant metaphor for espionage activity, based on observation and control and on tools such as binoculars, magnifying glasses and miniature cameras. Secondly, like the world of espionage, museums are places of danger and ambush, where nothing is what it seems and where it is difficult to make out real from fake. Furthermore, the methods of investigations of the spy are very similar to the art of connoisseurship of the art historian

Brave New Worlds. Shakespearean Tempests in Italian Prisons
No full textShakespeare is a pivotal and much staged playwright by theatre companies of prisoners in Italy, even though the practice of theatre in prison in Italy has a much shorter tradition than in the Anglo-Saxon world. Among the many Shakespearean plays, "The Tempest" is a favourite, being obviously able to shine a new light on the themes of revenge, freedom and forgiveness that are central issues in a prison context. Undeniably, in Italy, productions of "The Tempest" in prison have deeply instilled new life into the staging of the Elizabethan playwright. The list includes different kinds of experiences ranging from drama therapy, where the process towards rehabilitation and reintegration is more important than the finished aesthetic product, to productions by theatre directors who are primarily concerned with the artistic medium of the theatre and its aesthetic qualities. A survey of Shakespeare theatrical practice in Italian prisons can help investigate and understand not only the aesthetic but also the political, social and economic consequences of the function of prison nowadays, and provides the first step towards an analysis of Shakespeare practice in Italian prisons in a broader context. By comparison with other European countries, we may also discover that some Italian experiences, such as Fabio Cavalli's work in Rome at the Rebibbia prison, or Armando Punzo's with the "Fortress Company" in Volterra are unique and they deserve more attention
