“Solo”. Arturo Brachetti enchants with his poetic art
Arturo Brachetti at the Sistina, and it’s magic from the get go.
(CORRIERE DELLO SPETTACOLO DEL 08/02/2018 – PAOLO LEONE)
Arturo Brachetti at the Sistinaand it’s magic from the get go The great Turin artist, returns to the capital and enchants in his new show SOLO, of course through the wonders of “quick change” of which he is the undisputed master, but above all with poetry, with the ability to stage his boyish world and have it become that of his audience. It is no coincidence that Arturo often beats on the key of the struggle between the force of the rational, which drags to the ground, and that of the irrational, which allows the flight of the mind, admirably represented in the final fight with laser beams showering the stage, reminiscent of Matrix, between him and his “shadow”, the trusty Kevin Michael Moore. Each show by Brachetti petitions for the right to dream, reclaims the surreal beauty of remembrance and in Solo all this has increased a hundredfold thanks to his personal house of memories, on stage with him. It opens its doors, shows us interiors, exposes us to dreamy facts and interpretations thanks to its incredible transformist and illusionist performances, which never cease to amaze, not even after so many years of shows around the world. Brachetti is a timeless classic like the Sanremo Festival:it would be worth mentioning the concomitance of his stay at the Sistine with the unfolding of the singing festival.
Brachetti is Brachetti and we could end it here. But it must be said that in addition to the amazing transformations, he goes the extra mile and gifts us with that touch of bewitching poetry I mentioned at the beginning, with shadow puppetry, with sand painting, using videomapping that transforms the setting into a continuous, modern, surprise. An authentic show for all ages, with which to get excited as children, appreciating the great technological work and the crazy good team, for an hour and and a half of fun and amazement, with a great sense irony. All at a dizzying pace.
Yes, Arturo, you have once again won against the dark forces of rationality, indeed you have even convinced us it is nice to see you fly, giving all of us the certainty that you can grow old while remaining young, if you want it. For all this we can only For all this we can only say thank you. A show not to be missed.
