Harlequin for us at Piccolo Teatro di Milano is not merely a show: it’s the living example of the meaning of making theatre for audiences. Countries of any language and latitude have fallen in love with this simple and candid story. Sergio Escabor, Piccolo Teatro, General Manager
HARLEQUIN, the original clown, is a wily trickster who accepts the employment of two masters and walks a tightrope between their demands. What unfolds is a madcap theatrical masterpiece with three weddings, two duels, a dance number, a chase sequence, a love story, a food fight and much more. …pure buffoonery. THE NEW YORK TIMES
Italy’s world renowned Piccolo Teatro di Milano will immerse you in the art of comedy – commedia dell’arte – upon which slapstick, physical comedy and the great comic characters from Shakespeare to Charlie Chaplin and Benny Hill to Homer Simpson have drawn their inspiration.
Before Homer Simpson there was commedia dell’arte… THE NEW YORK TIMES
