Anyone groped a translation stage for this comedy that s'adoperi by any means necessary to get everything the effect that these "Six Characters" can not be confused with the Actors Company. The provision of one and the other, indicated in the captions, when those go up on stage, will benefit without doubt, as a different color light through special reflectors. But the most effective and suitable, that is suggested here, is the use of special masks for the characters: masks of a purpose-built for that matter, sweat does not, therefore, is slightly wilted and the actors who will bring: worked and cut so that they leave open the possibility for eyes, nostrils and mouth. S'interpreterà so also the profound meaning of the play. The "Characters" will not have to appear as "ghosts," but as "created realities", construction of fantasy immutable and therefore more real and substantial volatile natural actors. The masks help him to give the impression of figure built art and for each fixed immutably in the expression of their fundamental feeling that is the "remorse" for the Father, the "revenge" for the Step-the "disdain" for the Son, the "pain" for the mother with tears fixed wax in the occhiaje livid cheeks and long, as seen in the carved and painted images of the "Mater dolorosa" in churches. It is also the special clothing of fabric and shape, without extravagance, with tight bends and volume almost statuesque, and in short, a way that does not give the idea that it is made of a fabric that you can buy in any shop in the city and cut and sewn in any tailoring.
The Father will be in his fifties: bald, but bald, reddish hair, thick mustache with almost dozing beside the still fresh around the mouth, often in open space and an uncertain smile. Pale, especially in the wide forehead; blue eyes ovate, shiny and witty, wear light trousers and dark jacket: Sometimes it will be smooth, sometimes rough and tough shots will.
Mother will be like terrified and crushed by an intolerable weight of shame and humiliation. Veiled by a thick crepe widow, humbly dress in black, and when you lift the veil, will not face a buff, but as with wax, and will always keep his eyes lowered.
The Daughter of eighteen years, be bold, almost impudent. Beautiful dress in mourning too, but with eye-catching elegance. Despite the air show for timid, troubled and almost lost the little brother, fourteen years of squalid Young man, also dressed in black, and a lively tenderness, however, for her little sister, little girl about four years, dressed in white with a black silk band to life.
The Son of twenty-two, tall, almost stiff in contempt for the content of a Father and Mother un'accigliata indifference to, bring a coat purple and a long range Green shot around his neck.
Thought. I wrote a "serious" about the recall, saying Rom Nothing "dreamed" (as I might, otherwise, if "I fancy"
Let's mental life to non-existent. Suffice it to say a word, or a sequence of words, and behold, our imagination immediately goes to work, create some image from those sounds, or from images that we have learned to associate those sounds.
Yes, we create our ghosts, we shape and name. But it is as if "representation" our fears, we did become characters in a play, "created reality" and this "within" a few of our mental resources.
