the first European festival on creativity

2019 Programme

Event #22

Umberto Orsini, Paolo Di Paolo

The future of the theatre

On stage for sixty years, Umberto Orsini dedicated himself to cinema, television and overall theatre, working along with Fellini and Visconti, Zeffirelli and Ronconi. Although, when he tells about himself and his professional experiences, he does not do so with melancholy of the balance. He thinks about theatre as an everlasting present, as a future that is built by daring: in the choice of texts, in the interpretation that is perfected, he touches new nuances. In the dialogue with the audience. In the construction of an audience. "When I'm about to enter the scene – Orsini confesses, who on the stage of the festival will talk with Paolo Di Paolo and read pages of his autobiography – I think that taking two hours of our time away from the obviousness of everyday words to say words written by others is a priceless thing. What a thief the actor is, and at the same time what a benefactor!”.
