After many, many years, Harlequin and Punchinello meet: they are about to deliver a plan to remake the city of Naples, "which is just a fetish like this," as Punchinello says. Pulcinella dreams of a city with services for those who have nothing. Harlequin, sent to Naples by Pantalone, brings with him a plan to remake the city in an exclusively productive sense, privatizing Vesuvius, castles and mountains. Starting with Italo Calvino's The Invisible Cities and research works on masks, the show proposes a synthesis between the current need to rewrite urban spaces and the postures and irony of the Commedia dell'Arte. The languages used are those of mime, acrobatics and the lazzi of Commedia. Harlequin and Punchinello's ideas are multiplied when the spectators are asked to draw their own fantasy city. The performance will lead to the elaboration of a collective fantasy city, in which everyone's dreams will find a place.

OfficinaCommedia was born from the artistic encounter between Paola Maria Cacace and Angela Dionisia Severino, who in 2015 worked together in a Commedia dell'Arte company. Starting from common studies of mime, dance and clown, they deepen their research by approaching figure theater and mask making together They collaborate with master masqueraders, directors and musicians to create interdependent paths,where masks, puppets and clown work merge with other languages.
