'Sorry boys' opens the new season of Ca' Foscari Theatre

Ca’ Foscari theatre initiates its 2016-2017 programme, presenting its ninth season with a project aimed, as always, at enhancing theatrical research and cultural education.
Correlations - Stare al Mondo, is the title chosen for this year’s programme that offers nineteen events, including performances and workshops, from October 13^th 2016 to April 27^th 2017 and highly regarded artists such as Marta Cuscunà, Giuliana Musso, Maria Paiato, Arianna Scommegna and Enzo Moscato.

Correlazioni – Stare al Mondo proposes to explore the relationships between people and the way they live, in a world that is increasingly violent, in which the individual tries, sometimes desperately, to find release.

Next to texts by great authors of international literature (Frank Kafka, Samuel Beckett, Hannah Arendt) and of both classical and contemporary theatre (William Shakespeare, Eugène Ionesco), we find works that offer us the most panoramic view of the current theatre scene.

Sorry Boys [IT], which opens the festival, is the third stage of a project on female resistance by Martha Cuscunà. The play is loosely based on real-life events that took place in Gloucester, Massachusetts in 2008, where eighteen girls at a high school became pregnant at the same time, all of whom were under 16.

The programme also includes a premiere, Afterplay, by Brian Friel, directed by Mattia Berto and translated by Monica Caputo. The show is part of three projects in residence at the theatre this year, along with La Metamorfosi and Delirio a due. Afterplay and Delirio a due are two productions by Ca’ Foscari Theatre.

The section Altre destinazioni is an integral part of the programme. Here, in addition to some shows, are workshops, some of which are connected to the shows offered within the programme and include in-depth meetings coordinated by Maria Ida Biggi.
