TIRANA, Feb. 1 – The Venetian Pantakin Theatre Company will tour Albania this February with a mask show titled the Comic’s Mastery, starting from Tirana on Feb. 6 and continuing in Shkodra, Korà§a and Vlora in the following days.
Thought as a journey in the colorful world of masks, the show – starring two homeless comedians and a sharlatan – is directed by Michele Modesto Casarin. In charge of the masks is Stefano Perocco di Meduna, while the organization of the show is overseen by Emanuele Pasqualini.
According to director Casarin, the actors’ play aims to make viewers see and experience one of the most interesting moments of Italian art: the comedy of art. These three costermongers will tell history tales, songs and jokes that will lead the public to the mysterious and romantic world of masks.
On a fantastic journey through city streets, Dante’s Alichino devil will come straight from hell to be introduced with the public. On another corner, the public will see Dorotea expressing her torments of love.
Such will be the characters that will introduce the world of masks through stories and tales, making the touring show a great match for both children and adults.
The show will come on the stage of the national experimental theater Kujtim Spahivogli in Tirana, the Petro Marko theatre in Vlora, the Migjeni theatre in Shkodra and the Doll Theatre of Korà§a.
