ITALIAN (F25) | 50 HAPPY ENDINGS | VITTORI, G. |
ITALIAN 50 Happy Endings: Italian Comedy Instructor: Giulia Vittori Ever since Aristotle, and passing through the Italian Renaissance, comedy has been known as a genre of theatrical performance that makes us laugh and features a happy ending. Usually dealing with a small social cosmos where family and love issues lead the action, comedy offers stories that represent on stage situations onto which we can project our own experience. Comedy emphasizes at times adventurous plots and at other times emotions, or sometimes it reveals intention for social change beneath a farcical vein. Over the centuries, comedy has become more subtle, making us rethink the idea of the happy ending itself. As Italy enjoys a long comic tradition, this course looks at major Italian comedies from the Renaissance to the end of the twentieth century. We will look at how Italian comedy develops through a variety of sub-genres — from commedia dell’arte to opera buffa, from favola pastorale to bourgeois drama, from commedia all’italiana movies to variety shows and the theatre of the absurd. | ||
