L'AUGELLIN BELVERDE

Category: Edition 1977

Synopsis
From the theatrical fairy tale by Carlo Gozzi, here is an imaginative and graceful version of magical history. The tight-knit couple Gianini-Luzzati, accompanied by a valuable musical couple (Oscar Prudente and Ivano Fossati), are dedicated to the narration with greater sobriety than usual, but also giving visual and visionary moments of great tenderness and charm, marrying a slight irony (the souvenir photo of the warthog-babies is delicious) with an innate sense of wonder. To be enjoyed with a child's spirit.

Emanuele Luzzati was born in Genoa in 1921. He studied and graduated in Lausanne at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. Painter, decorator, illustrator, ceramist, he devoted himself to theatrical scenes and costumes, and later to the realization of animated films and drawings (The Paladins, La gazza ladra, Ali Baba, Turandot, Pulcinella - who was nominated for an Oscar- , the feature film The magic flute in collaboration with Giulio Giannini). He has made more than four hundred sets for prose, lyric and dance in the main Italian and foreign theaters; we remember his participation at the London Festival Ballet, at the Glyndebourne Festival, at the Chicago Opera House and at the Vienna State Opera.
He exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1972 in the Experimental Graphics section.
In 1975 he was one of the founders of the Teatro della Tosse in Genoa together with Tonino Conte and Aldo Trionfo and, in that year, he was also his first exhibition at the Galleria Il Vicolo di Genova.
