Premiere: CHIOGGIA'S QUESTIONS | A comedy for the whole family
The Regina Maria Theater in Oradea invites you to the premiere of the Iosif Vulcan Troupe's "The Quarrels of Chioggia", by Carlo Goldoni, artistic direction by Șerban Borda, which will take place on Sunday, May 8, at 7:00 PM, at the Arcadia Hall.
Carlo Goldoni (February 25, 1707, Venice – February 6, 1793, Paris) is considered the founder of Italian realistic comedy, being the playwright who revitalized the established dramatic form of commedia dell'arte Italian, by replacing masked figures with more realistic characters, the evasively structured and often repetitive action, with well-constructed plots and its predictable farce with a new spirit full of humor and spontaneity.
"The Quarrels of Chioggia" is a comedy in three acts, which brings to the fore the lives of two families of fishermen from a Venetian village, between whom a conflict arises that starts from a series of entanglements and love misunderstandings. The way in which the plot evolves, the attempts at reconciliation, the tricks, the language, the relationships between the characters create situations of a delicious comic, but manage to capture a picture of profound realism.
The show is directed by actor Șerban Borda, the set is by Răzvan Chendrean, and the costumes are by Mădălina Baciu. The cast of the show includes the following actors: Andrian Locovei (Toni), Gabriela Codrea (Pasqua), Anca Sigmirean (Lucietta), Răzvan Vicoveanu (Titta Nane), David Constantinescu (Beppe), Petre Ghimbășan (Fortunato), Mirela Niță Lupu (Libera), Lucia Rogoz (Orsetta), Mihaela Gherdan (Checca), Ciprian Ciuciu (Vicenzo), Eugen Neag (Toffolo), Alexandru Rusu (Isidoro), George Dometi (Portărelul) and Șerban Borda (Canocchia), with the participation of volunteers: Kiss-Roth Samuel, Ștefana Dușe, Gyori Isabela and Crișan Ștefania-Riana. The show is not recommended for people under eight years of age.
All tickets for the premiere are already sold out, but you can still purchase them for the next performance, scheduled for Sunday, May 29, from 7:00 PM, at the Arcadia Hall, from the theater agency (open from Tuesday to Friday between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM), online on Eventim.ro or one hour before the show at the Arcadia Hall, within the limit of available seats.
