THE THIRD KOLTÈS

The trilogy dedicated to the great French playwright ends with Roberto Zucco, directed by Cherif, which is on stage at the Mole Theatre in Ancona from 22 to 27 July

The Koltès Project, which was thought up by the artistic director of the Civic Theatre of the Marche, Giampiero Solari, ends with the staging of Roberto Zucco directed by Cherif at the Mole Theatre from 22 to 27 July.

The urban-artistic project, which is dedicated to the French playwright, was developed over the course of the year around three texts: In the Solitude  of the Cotton Fields by Mario Martone at the Mole Theatre last June, Black battles with dogs directed by Giampiero Solari at the Muse Theatre and Roberto Zucco by Cherif. Three texts interpreted by three directors of the new generation, who love to work with the classics without disregarding comparisons with contemporary drama.

The three productions came to life in Ancona, amongst the spaces of the Mole Vanvitelliana (Martone’s installation and a first workshop with the actors chosen by Cherif for Roberto Zucco last year, in June 2002) and the Muse Theatre, where Black battles with dogs featuring Remo Girone ­(on tour next season as well) made its debut in February 2003.

The show, Roberto Zucco, will see 14 actors take the stage, with Pierluigi Fogacci playing the lead role. Andrew Bowden will be in charge of the set design, and Stefania Cempini of the costume design.
