„The Carnival"
Texts and direction by Miguel Angel Cienfuegos
„The Carnival" as its name suggests is a show
full of music and dance, acrobatics, magic and sketches,
with the masked characters of the Italian commedia
dell'arte. In this work which combines fact and fiction,
the immortal Dr. Faustus enters the mysterious world of a
Roman Carnival and has a new adventure in which he falls
in love with Margherita (Gretchen), a performer who
dances on a rope. Since Carnevale is a tribute both to
Goethe's Faust and to his love for Italy, it is only
natural that German and Italian, the seminal languages of
European culture, each have their place in it.
