La Mandragola
A free adaptation from the play by Niccolò Machiavelli presented by the Compagnia Balagàn in collaboration with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura. The show has an open scenario and the play will be characterised by the use of musical interludes and noises ‘off’ in the form of musical and percussion instruments. The basic needs of Man will be emphasised: hunger, love, power and sex whilst the involvement of the audience will also be encouraged. The dialogue and action will be quick in every sense, light and rhythmic.
