The Musicalladies dance and entertain, performing songs,... in the common house Lengmoos at 8 p.m.

In Italian: A comedian in therapy with his psychologist and two trusty musicians - who act as his live soundtrack both in life and on stage - confesses his dark sides and honours the fictional memory and legacy of his masters. All in front of his audience. A leading comedian par excellence, Paolo Rossi has for forty years ranged from clubs to large stages, from traditional theatre to cabaret, from television to the circus tent: everywhere he proposes his personal way of “making a show” which, while immersing himself in the themes of today, never disregards the teachings of the ancient and modern classics, from Shakespeare to Moliere to Brecht and the much-loved Commedia dell'Arte. In this new version of the satirical Operaccia Rossi improvises his past, to remind himself of his and others' present. With the proceeds he will pay the psychologist, as well as other debts for various and sundry issues in these difficult times. ‘The satirical operettas are extravagant creations that arise from various inspirations: the reading of great literary classics that are transformed into funny compositions, episodes ’stolen" from lived life and from my personal repertoire then reworked and transformed into comic poems that, thanks to the musical accompaniment, turn into a popular song. The language is incorrect, varied, full of mispronunciations, strange words and suggestions, but easily understood by all. They remain fundamentally stories: we strive to tell them as best we can. By and with Paolo Rossi. With Caterina Gabanella and with musicians Emanuele Dell'Aquila, Alex Orciari. Production AGIDI Duration: 120 minutes
