Abstract

The article deals with the problem of representation of a fairy tale. An interesting level of analysis concerns the relationship between childish play and scenic play: this relationship has been the object of the reflection of a philosopher like Walter Benjamin and of a protagonist of the 20th century theater avant-garde as Mejerchol’d. As the child "enters" into the fairy tale and transforms it from the inside, the director and the set designer can "dig" into the fairy tale and bring hidden aspects on the stage that are able to speak to our contemporaneity. It is necessary, that is, to oscillate between the past and present of the fairy tale, as the great poet Sanguineti was able to do when, as author, while respecting the original structure of Gozzi's fairy tale L’amore delle tre melarance, managed to graft themes contemporaries, proposing to the spectator an "anamorphic" vision of that fairytale text.
