Press C'est la guerre - this is war
Watching the world at war through the eyes of a child
(The Australian - The work May 26, 2006)
Watching the world at war through the eyes of a child, with innocence and even with joy ("When the war is not going to school") emerges while, between games and practices the words of the great, the truth more fierce. Children are pure and ruthless, ferret out things that adults disguise of ideals or hypocrisy "war is a matter of money," is knowing how to take advantage of the opportunities it offers. The war, then, indeed, "C'est la guerre", a performance of the Company Gramsci29, that after the premiere at the Theatre Garage, goes on stage this evening at the Teatro Albatros part of the show "Little House" Cinderella. " Not a war any but the Second World War as seen from a French boy, Louis, with text that told the director Vanessa Niri drew, and published, the novel by Louis Calaferte "C'est la guerre."
Louis (Vlad Ghillino) is a Giamburrasca that gives life to the public without a play time and think about those years ago from an objective point of view: War is fear and death, and the freshness and immediacy of the diary put aside childish moral and rhetoric, exercises and strategies. A close-knit group of actors (the other main characters are Fabrizio Maiocco, Emanueale Pilotti, Peter and Helen Verardo Hope), directed by a careful and fast-paced (the strongest moment is the reconstruction of "emotional" in the dark of the shelter during the bombing) accompany the public in the awareness of the war, where he died in millions on street corners. And Liberation "is when you're crowded all get to see the tanks of the Americans "and shout all together" okay! okay! okay! "is over.

"Great War, little eyes between enchantment and survival
(The Republic-The Work May 13, 2006)
Tonight, at 21 , the Hall of Diana Street Theatre Company, the Paggi Gramsci29 Previews C'est la guerre-so is war. The war may be, in fact, told by infinite viewpoints, but the most irreverent is to a child. Louis was eleven years old when France entered the war against Nazi Germany, and will have twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, before they can live and see the liberation. Introno Louis - the protagonist of this text translated into Italian ever before - is built and destroyed a world, that of the Second World War, the fact of survival, of bombing, of spies and partisans of destroyed houses and shelters wet of fear: the reality of war filtered through the eyes of a child. The text is loosely based on the novel by Louis Calaferte, in which the author recounts the war as such had lived to the age of 11 years. The novel, packed characters who take turns surreal in everyday life of the Second World War, was transformed by the Theatre Company Gramsci29 in a play that pits the enchanted eyes of a child to attempt to survive the adult world around him. Will preview tonight, May 26, the actual debut in the theatrical exhibition at the Albatros Rivarolo. The performers are: Vlad Ghillino, Fabrizio Maiocco, Emanuela Pilotti, Peter and Helen Verardo Hope. Director, translation and theatrical adaptation are Vanessa Niri.
