CANCELLED - Gianduja host
Grand Puppet Theater Niemen (Piedmont)
JANDUJA OSTE
Puppet theater, for adult audiences
Friday, May 19 - Gambettola Municipal Theater
Gianduja oste is not a fairy tale, it does not have among its characters devils, witches, princesses.... it is part of those stories born from real events, when puppets were not for children. Of course, the main character entertains the audience with salacious jokes and will solve abuse by thrashing. The subtitle could be "When justice is not fair ... Four strokes can do the trick." Gianduja, aided by his friends Testafina and Tartaglia, will remedy the injustices committed by the villainous feudal lord master of the county.
The nonprofit cultural association "Niemen Family of Art" was established to preserve, expand, promote and pass on a tradition that has continued uninterrupted for seven generations, 200 years. Recognized by the Piedmont region as the oldest family of puppeteers in Piedmont, over the course of 200 years it has collected puppets, scenes, scripts that today represent a unique collection and tradition. The main purpose of the Association is to show young people what was" the fun of Gianduja," the only entertainment of their grandparents when they were their own age, using the same puppets and backdrops. Today, Eliseo Niemen is considered one of the best puppeteers and art masters in Europe. And the story continues...

Naturally, the protagonist entertains the audience with salacious jokes and will solve the abuses with beatings. The subtitle could be "When justice is not fair... Four beatings can help." Gianduja, helped by his friends Testafina and Tartaglia, will remedy the injustices committed by the bad feudal lord of the county.
