Milan Course Preregistration Update

Course pre-registration for Spring 2025 Milan programs has been rescheduled. All students will be informed of the new date soon.

LT 353 - Comic Italian Theatre

The course offers a survey of the Italian theatre tradition, alternating between the long-established and traditionally 'popular' forms (commedia dell'arte, the Sicilian puppet theatre or opera dei pupi,political satire, narrative theatre and so on) and an analysis of contemporary comic language. The survey will be conducted also on the basis of performances being given in the most important theatres of Rome. At the end of the course, the student will be able to ‘read the theatre’: that is, to look at, analyse and criticise a theatrical performance within its historical-cultural context and its staging.
