At Intesa Sanpaolo’sThe WaterstonePavilion, maestro of Italian theaterGiorgio Albertazzishared memories of his theatrical experiences, his life as an actor and the history of theater starting with a tale of“The shape of unfinished things,”a play that Albertazzi himself produced in 2008 at the Franco Parenti Theater of Milan. At the Waterstone Pavilion, the actor and director from Fiesole recounted his work in theater through excerpts from his life story that started with his exciting days in the theaters of Rome and included the most meaningful moments of Italian theatrical performance. Giorgio Albertazzi provided a lucid definition of the actor’s and the theater’s function in society, concluding the evening with an extraordinary interpretation of a sonnet byWilliam Shakespeare, which the maestro used to demonstrate the value of silence. Giorgio Albertazzi’s monologue was followed by a screening of a video by Raphael Tobia Vogel, Teatro.Interno.Notte (Theater.Inside.Night), which gave an original interpretation of the theater and contemporary theater life.
