In this interview, musicologist and cultural historian Nicolò Palazzetti engages with actor and author Gian Marco Pellecchia to explore the history and contemporary relevance of the Commedia dell’arte. The aesthetic and poetic examination of Pellecchia’s successful show, Comœdia, performed since 2013, serves as a pretext to reflect on the myth of the Commedia dell’arte. This reflection encompasses a set of acting techniques, dramaturgical and narrative resources, and a method of positioning oneself within historical and media contexts. The discussion of the Commedia dell’arte thus becomes a means of rethinking theatrical fiction and, in certain respects, reinterpreting our contemporary era.
