Thank You Mejerchol’d by Harlequin
Sometimes History and Memory, if re-visited with delicacy and intellectual honesty, suggest strategies for peace and universal collaboration between people of all times and places.
In 2024, the theatre world celebrates the 150th anniversary of Mejerchol'd's birth.
In April 2024, the anniversary is celebrated in Moscow with the International Scientific Conference "V. Mejerchol'd - The Theatre of the Future" attended by various delegations and speakers from around the world. GITIS - Russian Institute of Theatre Arts requested a video contribution by Claudia Contin Arlecchino from Italy, an original contribution that was screened in several languages on 18 April 2024 at the opening of the conference.
The video is now available in Italian with English subtitles (courtesy of Luca Fantinutti) and Russian subtitles (courtesy of Dmitry Trubotchkin).
We would like to thank Teatro Tascabile di Bergamo and the director Alberto Valtellina for the permission to use video repertory footage with Claudia Contin Arlecchino in Bergamo 2023 and 2024. We also thank Maestro Luca Piallini for the height training of the new Flying Harlequin.
The filming of Claudia Contin Arlecchino's dedication, the research of archive materials, the final editing and the music are by the Porto Arlecchino studio.
