FAILURE RESULTS FROM FOUR LAUGHS TO ANYONE YOU DO NOT DENY

TITLE: tottering biped
WRITTEN BY: Paolo Hendel,
COLLABORATION WITH: Piero and Sergio Staino Metelli
PRODUCTION: Agis Ltd
RATING: 3 stars ***

ethologist Desmond Morris in the 70s saw a man " Naked Ape ", noting that animal features thousands of years of cultural evolution and natural hair removal have failed to erase. Paolo Hendel, Tuscan comedian host the season of the Teatro Magnani in Bicester on Wednesday with his latest one-man-show, ride the wave and watch the Darwinian animal man from a perspective a bit 'unusual: dall'inpiedi. Starting from the definition of "tottering biped," Hendel unfolds on stage, with only the imaginative power of words and his ways by strolling player, an imaginative reconstruction of the prehistory of mankind, accompanied by notes of electrical Giorgio Vicini. Even when they proceeded to crawl on four supports; when he had not yet unleashed the crazy variable in the evolution that would lead to the monkey standing position and then to Homo Semipiegatus (including a well-known television journalist is a Rai representative sample). If it takes all Hendel, mocking the powerful, the immortal Italian politicians, present and future, always the same even in 3010 (royal dynasty would say), questioning and ridicule their absurd behavior and mocking even the man in the street, staggering on his feet two poor, defenseless, slow, timid and aggressive for that. The comedy Hendel has the strength of daily life, fools tics and attitudes that we all share, dall'ipocondria widespread embarrassment to their physical or medical needs, hatred for the camera as for the infernal instrument par excellence, the alarm. The show flies, light and fun, but paying a considerable price television, theater stripped the size and sacrificing part of the relationship with the public. An audience that there is not a given auditel: is present, willing to be fooled and especially pretty disgusted by the ways and people of Italian politics to succeed even after decades, to laugh Berlusconi height and line of Ferrara. When even the masculinity of De Filippi will make the audience laugh more, then we know that it's over.
