Direct from Milano to Auckland - Piccolo Teatro di Milano

HARLEQUIN - Servant of Two Masters

Written by Carlo Goldoni
Directed by Giorgio Strehler
Restaged by Ferruccio Soleri in collaboration with Stefano de Luca

Featuring 20 actors and five musicians in breathtaking masks & costumes.

A miraculous fusion of brilliant directorial insight, inspired physical comedy and a peerless sense of style. LA TIMES

HARLEQUIN, a wily trickster, accepts the employment of two masters and is forced to walk a tightrope between their demands. What unfolds is a madcap masterpiece with three weddings, two duels, a dance number, a chase sequence, a love story, a food fight and much more.

...craft, vigor and sheer joie de vivre. CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Let Italy's revered Piccolo Teatro di Milano immerse you in the art of comedy – commedia dell'arte – upon which slapstick, physical comedy and the great comic characters from Shakespeare to Charlie Chaplin and Benny Hill to Homer Simpson have drawn their inspiration.

...pure buffoonery. THE NEW YORK TIMES


Ciao and see you there

Thursday 1 to Sat 3 October 7pm at the Aotea Centre, THE EDGE®
