Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Dario Fo (born March 24, 1926) is an Italian satirist, playwright, theater director, actor, and composer. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1997. His dramatic work employs comedic methods of the ancient Italian commedia dell'arte, a theatrical style popular with the proletarian classes. Father of the writer Jacopo Fo, he currently owns and operates a theatre company with his wife, the leading actress Franca Rame. Fo was born in Sangiano, in the province of Varese, near the eastern shore of Lago Maggiore. His father Felice was a station master for the Italian state railway, and the family frequently moved when Felice was transferred to new postings. Felice was also an amateur actor and a socialist. Fo learned storytelling from his maternal grandfather and Lombard fishers and glassblowers. In 1940 Fo moved to Milan to study architecture at the Brera Academy, but World War II intervened. His family was active in anti-fascist resistance and reputedly he helped his father to smuggle refugees and Allied soldiers to Switzerland. Near the end of the war, Fo was a volunteer in the paratroopers of the Republic of Salò. At the time he was 17 years old. After the war, Fo continued his architectural studies in Milan. Initially he commuted from Lago Maggiore, but soon his family moved to Milan. There Fo became involved in the piccoli teatri (small theatres) movement, in which he began to present improvised monologues. In 1950 he began to work for Franco Parenti's theatre company, and gradually abandoned his work as an assistant archite...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=176791 ... Read more

From the supplier: Dario Fo has received a Nobel Prize award in Literature despite his paucity of literary contributions to Italy. His works have been regarded by some to be more theatrical rather than literary. However, because Fo has become an emulator of the less fortunate, he has gained recognition from such award-giving body. Fo's achievement can also be attributed to his manner of writing wherein he portrays the abuses and injustice which occur in real life situations.

Excerpt:Daniele Luttazzi Daniele Luttazzi (born January 26, 1961), real name Daniele Fabbri , is an Italian theater actor, writer, satirist , illustrator and singer/songwriter. His stage name is a homage to musician and actor Lelio Luttazzi. In 1988, his monologue won an award in a comedy contest held at Rome 's Teatro Sistina. His favourite topics are politics , religion , sex and death . In 2002, he was banned from RAI , the Italian public broadcasting company, by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi , who was angry because Luttazzi, at that time host of Satyricon , a raunchy late night comedy show , interviewed Marco Travaglio , the author of a book that exposed Mr. Berlusconi's links with the Mafia . Now he can work only in theatres. He is often cited by the European press (i.e. The Economist , Le Monde , El Pais ) as proof of Mr. Berlusconi's censorship of the opposition. In addition to writing and performing monologues and theatre works, he occasionally writes political and satirical essays for Micromega and il manifesto , two left-wing periodicals. Luttazzi is also interested in drawing, with a selection of his graphical works published as a book called Capolavori (Masterpieces). Daniele Luttazzi is also a musician: as of 2007, he released two CDs, named respectively Money for Dope and School is Boring , in which he sings in English . Biography Luttazzi was born in Santarcangelo di Romagna , province of Rimini . He began his comic career performing satirical monologues in theatre shows. In 1994 he performed characters in the popular comedy show Mai dire Gol (Never Say Goal), aired by Italia 1 . In 1998, ... ... Read more

Extrait : Giosuè Alessandro Michele Carducci est un poète italien né à Valdicastello, un hameau de Pietrasanta, le 27 juillet 1835, et décédé à Bologne le 16 février 1907. Il fut le premier Italien à recevoir le Prix Nobel de littérature, en 1906. Il écrivit ses premières pièces en vers à l'âge de 13 ans avant de devenir un écrivain qui influencera profondément la vie intellectuelle de l'Italie du siècle. Son œuvre la plus connue est Odes Barbares, publiée en 1882. En 1906, malade et faible, il ne put se déplacer pour recevoir le prix Nobel. Il mourut l'année suivante. Il naît en 1835 à Valdicastello, un hameau de Pietrasanta dans la Versilia en Toscane, de Michele et Ildegonda Celli. La famille déménage à Bolgheri, hameau de Castagneto dans le Maremme en 1839, où le père, impliqué dans les grèves des carbonari de 1831, exerçait le métier de médecin. C'est dans ce pays, souvent évoqué dans sa poésie, que le jeune Carducci passe une enfance tranquille. Carducci entreprend ses premières lectures à Bolgheri sous l'égide de son père, homme doté d'une bonne culture classique. En 1849 la famille s'installe à Florence, où le jeune Giosuè complète ses études chez les Scolopi, acquérant une bonne base en littérature et en rhétorique. En 1853, après avoir passé le concours, il s'inscrit à la faculté des lettres de l'École normale supérie...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: ·) (born ·); 10 February 189814 August 1956) was a German poet, playwright, and theatre director. An influential theatre practitioner of the 20th century, Brecht made equally significant contributions to dramaturgy and theatrical production, the latter particularly through the seismic impact of the tours undertaken by the Berliner Ensemblethe post-war theatre company operated by Brecht and his wife and long-time collaborator, the actress Helene Weigelwith its internationally acclaimed productions. From his late twenties Brecht remained a life-long committed Marxist who, in developing the combined theory and practice of his 'epic theatre', synthesized and extended the experiments of Erwin Piscator and Vsevolod Meyerhold to explore the theatre as a forum for political ideas and the creation of a critical aesthetics of dialectical materialism. Brecht's modernist concern with drama-as-a-medium led to his refinement of the 'epic form' of the drama. This dramatic form is related to similar modernist innovations in other arts, including the strategy of divergent chapters in James Joyce's novel Ulysses, Sergei Eisenstein's evolution of a constructivist 'montage' in the cinema...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=24956001 ...

Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Mummers' Plays (also known as mumming) are seasonal folk plays performed by troupes of actors known as mummers or guisers (or by local names such as rhymers, pace-eggers, soulers, tipteerers, galoshins, guysers, and so on), originally from England (see wrenboys), but later in other parts of the world. They are sometimes performed in the street but more usually as house-to-house visits and in public houses. Midwinter Mummers at the Whittlesea Straw Bear 2009Although the term "mummers" has been used since medieval times, no play scripts or performance details survive from that era, and the term may have been used loosely to describe performers of several different kinds. Mumming may have precedents in German and French carnival customs, with rare but close parallels also in late medieval England (see below). The earliest evidence of mummers' plays as they are known today (usually involving a magical cure by a quack doctor) is from the mid to late 18th century. Mumming plays should not be confused with the earlier mystery plays. Mummers performing in front of Exeter Cathedral, Devon in 1994Mummers' and guisers' plays were formerly performed throughout most of Great Britain and Ireland, as well as in other Engl...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=448939 ...
