Three professional actors, Chiara Durazzini, Emanuele Capoano and Maya Attia, interpret famous Commedia stock characters such as Arlecchino, Pulcinella, Balanzone and Colombina with their comedic troubles that result from typical human weaknesses such as envy, lust and greed.

The show features two original, independent scenes inspired by the classic Commedia scenarios of the early 1600s. Renaissonics, a renowned Renaissance music ensemble, provide the musical accompaniment. http://renaissonics.weebly.com
