Summer break for "the mermaid Princess"

En attendant la reprise au mois de novembre, voici quelques extraits d'articles de la tournée anglaise :

"Take the opening passage. The scene is set neatly by a wispy but engaging female narrator (Raffaella Gardon) and her sweetly lumbering animal companion (Valerio Tambone)"

Donald Hutera for The Times

"It’s shiveringly beautiful and frequently spellbinding, played out by the five ensemble members in a vast space where suspended silken banners have a wafting choreography of their own, physicality creates the dramatic storm and shipwreck, and the slow descent of two chandeliers provides a palace. Thrilling opera accompanies swells of high drama and blends with pop and nursery rhyme in a characteristically quirky score."

Pat Ashworth for The Stage

"Both men also play a variety of other roles, as do the other two female performers Eugenia Amisano and Raffaella Gardon- the latter taking on the role of Narrator and producing a very effervescent performance."

the Lowry Salford

"Raffaella Gardon, as the play’s narrator, brought a childlike feel to the performance, engaging and sprightly, she was a welcome break from the sinister and dark atmosphere that consumed much of the show."

Babergh District Council-South Suffolk

"...Raffaella Gardon is gorgeous as the narrator..."

Amytheatre's blog

"This production had tragedy, romance, comedy, dance, acrobatics, music and song. It was beautiful, haunting and complex. The audience, (about half adult and half children over eight), were transfixed and transported into another world for an hour – which seemed all too short. And you could tell by the rapturous applause at the end that the memory of it would stay with them, as it will stay with me, for a long time."

West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds

"Eugenia Amisano and Raffaella Gardon are scene stealers in a variety of roles including narrator, as is Paolo Summaria as the Lord Chamberlain. These three really play to the children in the audience, bringing the fairytale element to life."

The Mermaid Princess at the Curve, Leicester

Originally created in 2007, this adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid is the fifth production by Teatro Kismet to tour the UK since 1994. It’s easy to see why this Italian company keeps being invited back. The work has a cross-generational appeal and is typically put across with great visual flair. This take on Andersen’s dark and fishy tale of sacrificial love by the writer-director Teresa Ludovico is no exception. Touring the UK until July 3 under the auspices of Warwick Arts Centre, Coventry, the hour-long performance has been deemed suitable for ages 8 and above.

Designed by Luca Ruzza with a simple grandeur, the show contains some indelibly poetic images including a finale that’s as graceful, delicate and touching as could be wished. The route to that magical ending is, however, more than a mite choppy. At times Ludovico seems to be playing against her own strengths.

Take the opening passage. The scene is set neatly by a wispy but engaging female narrator (Raffaella Gardon) and her sweetly lumbering animal companion (Valerio Tambone). But as soon as they slip away the heroine’s loquacious Nanny Tuna barges onstage, her litany of complaints sprinkled with supposedly witty wordplay. Although Eugenia Amisano delivers it with gusto, I longed for her to shut up. Ludovico also tries spicing things with a few cultural anachronisms. Example: the lovely, limber Daria Menichetti’s spirited teenage mermaid is introduced with a French rendition of the kitsch-pop classic Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.

The show’s bouncy, commedia-influenced side feels slightly laboured, and yet the piece, however fitfully, casts a spell. The sense of acute pain catches at the heart. It’s evident in the desperate desire of Tambone’s Prince to hear the mermaid’s voice again, and in the brutal bargain she strikes with Amisano’s Sea Witch. And the poignant, almost ceremonial beauty of the closing moments is like a balm.
