A great actor from Cosenza. Actor in films, TV series but, above all, an extraordinary protagonist of plays. An artistic point of reference for many young people from Calabria (and not only), also author of successful books. Who is he? Peppino Mazzottaan anti-star par excellence, because he shies away from protagonism and television talk shows, close to the people, always available towards his homeland and the initiatives that are carried out there. An artist who devours books, a supporter, close to the poor and migrants. Today is a candidate for the “Le Maschere del Teatro Italiano 2024” award for the “Best monologue interpreter” category in relation to a production of the Teatro Rossosimona company, directed by Clean Naked.
It is entitled “Radio Argo Suite” and is written by the poet and playwright Igor EspositoThe show will be performed at the Orestiadi Festival in Gibellina (Trapani) directed by Alfio Scuderi – tomorrow at 9pm – at Baglio di Stefano.
“A voice, alone, captured by a microphone and launched into the night, wanders from repeater to repeater in search of ears that want to listen to it. A voice that becomes a body to evoke other voices and other bodies” we read in the presentation of the work.
This is a courageous rewriting of the Oresteia in which Mazzotta gives body and voice to the characters of the famous tragedy, retracing the events before and after the most well-known and celebrated war in the history of humanity: the war waged by the Achaeans against the city of Troy.
