DRAMATURGY

To provide theoretical and methodological tools for the study of dramaturgy, understood not only in its dimension of 'literary dramatic text', but also as a 'scenic text'.

The course is tripartite. Module A, theoretical and institutional, proposes general questions of dramaturgy. Module B is dedicated to the meeting between a puppeteer (Mimmo Cuticchio) and a dancer (Virgilio Sieni) who brought theatre and dance back to a common origin, that of pure movement. Module C is dedicated to the dramaturgical score of Turi Zinna, cross-media and cross-disciplinary voice of the contemporary scene.
