DRAMATURGY

The course provides students, who have largely already studied Performing arts, historical-critical and thematic instruments around questions of dramaturgy, with special attention to exchanges of language.

The course is combined in three parts. The module A, theoretical and institutional, deals with general questions of dramaturgy. The module B focuses on the “New wave of Sicilian dramaturgy”. The module C is an in-depth focus about the plays of Eleonora Danco, a very interesting performer, involved in a particular research between drama, poetry and cinema.
