"Francis the Holy Jester"

Tuesday, October 16, 2012
4:00 AM
Helmut Stern Auditorium (UMMA), 525 S. State Street

A play by Dario Fo, performed in English.

Description: "Francis the Holy jester is a one man show, a play which relies solely on the considerable skill of a highly experienced performer and the imagination of the audience. This is a show without props, without scenery and with the simplest of costume where the bond between the audience and the performer, and thus the material and subject is tangible, visceral. A whole range of characters from 13th Century Italy are brought to life before us: Popes and Cardinals, Dukes and Duchesses, soldiers on the battle field, traders in the marketplace and St Francis himself."

Speaker:
Mario Pirovano
