A Solo Commedia dell' Arte Show
After an amazing 2019 premier season international performing artist Andrew Crupi returns to the Adelaide Fringe with his entertaining and spectacular “Solo Commedia dell’Arte Show”.
Spring has sprung, the creatures of the forest are waking, and the King has announced the annual hunting competition. As hero's from far and wide disappear into the forest, can the brash Capitano claim the prize or will Flavio the humble farmer prove himself to be the true hero of the kingdom.
Watch as one actor switches seamlessly between multiple characters, through the use of traditional Commedia dell' Arte masks and dynamic storytelling, to weave a tale of love, intrigue and adventure. Suitable for all ages.
In school shows and Commedia dell' Arte workshops are also available via Athecrupi@gmail.com
