Crepapelle by Maria Cassi at The Playground Theatre

“Crepapelle” is a tale about falling in love with two cities, Paris and her home city. The relationship with the places, with the people, with the smells and colours and with the little and great follies of the everyday life of their inhabitants. The character is a mask that fits different roles, from old beggars to beautiful ladies, from old gentlemen to bus drivers, from children to shop assistants. Maria Cassi turns into a bakery window and a thousand more roles. And here again, as in many of her shows, Maria Cassi touches the “primeval” mind, that part of our brain that laughs, feels and save us from emotional inability. The audience understand the message and leaves the theatre with a sense of gratitude.
