Emma Dante (Italie)
Somewhere between a commedia dell’arte, a Neapolitan tragedy and Fellinian debauchery lies La Scortecata, a story about a king who falls in love with the sound of a voice. Alas, the voice belongs to an old woman. Two half-naked, cross-dressing actors repeatedly tell each other the same, endless story of an impossible love. It’s difficult not to laugh and quite easy to be moved. Commediante, tragediante - Italianism at its finest.
