James Muscat, artistic director of the Summer Festival Ridens Grosseto, gives us his time in a challenging time, the afternoon before the staging of "Night's Dream Midsummer, which is a director, actor and even author, since he himself had prepared a translation of Shakespeare's text, all in rhyme. By James Muscat, born in Siena, but grew up in Grosseto, now that I learn to live well must know how to mix self-interest and altruism. While James is committed to his job, in fact, is not denied to anyone. Friends will welcome arriving hours before the show did not bother to find tickets to a remedy small failure of the script, try the music and answer my questions calmly and carefully. We are the bridge house of Siena Grosseto, a beautiful Medicean fortress walls.
Every good story has its beginning. How the theater enters the life of James Muscat? Eighteen years ago I was a student less than satisfied with his home town. I was a commercial, I was good at math and I was doing with the Italian, but without excelling. 'S meeting with Professor Nunes, director of the association Dante, I was led to the discovery of the theater. What are your plans to be great, before graduating?
The film director. I was a real movie fan, I watched all the classics and wrote many stories, tales and poems. Professor Nunes, however, I was asked to direct the session of the young Dante and I started to collect subscriptions for a course in theater, which was required by Elisa Roggiolani. I gathered 25 participants, a surprising number. Happy with my work spread the news of the good result. The day of the course only four people showed up. On arrival the Roggiolani asked me: "There are only four students?", "No, five!" I said, deciding to study acting at that moment, only to have more adhesion. Since then I never stopped. After graduation I enrolled in Arts at Siena, where I founded the University Theater Center. Laugh Clown was born in 1994, our troupe. The initial core was 6 players, but he grew up with the contracting nta Grosseto actors and actresses who have given so many beautiful moments in this city.
While we recall with a door of the plays
you in the scene from the Clown Laugh, Harvey, which tells of a giant imaginary rabbit, Arri
is a smiling man, who calls James to help him with s 'equipment. "Be right back!" James apologizes and I turn to look
the Keep, the splendid setting of so many lies coli and exhibitions in recent years, a place beloved by young Grosseto just to spend the afternoon playing with friends.
When James returns to be interviewed I have no doubt the next question.
Grosseto Have you ever thought about leaving, perhaps to follow some important occasion? It happened just a few days after my first year of teaching. Andrea Buscemi offered me the chance to become a professional actor, bringing a show on tour. I refused. Why? I thought well, and I realized that was not what I wanted. Theatre for me is a passion, I would not have even become my job. What makes you work over 19 hours straight without stopping even to eat when it comes to how to stage a show? Who would work in similar conditions without protest? You can do that only for passion. Also this way I can afford to play only parts I like, I do not have to accept roles where I do not think because I have imposed. Not to mention that my relative freedom it allows me to experiment, to be a professor of literature, drama teacher, actor and also a writer.
Your role as a young professor takes you to have a special relationship with young people Grosseto. How do I look? If you want to generalize, you see them willing to do everything possible to leave the city or are determined to improve it with new ideas?
Everyone is different, but I do not see much desire to create something new. Often the children come to maturity without knowing how to continue their careers. Hard to find someone who says, enthusiastic, have a dream. The old "I want to be an astronaut" is no longer heard. Of course, the feeling is different when you look at the boys engaged in some activities. In my case I am referring to students of theater classes, motivated and bright kids, who are committed to acting and also for their future.
A tip for future generations.
discover that exist p
axions. When the boys discover they are transformed. Their lives change.
Less than two hours after James is Oberon, the king of the fairies. Along with a large and varied cast, by gender and age, James Grosseto offers a fantastic "Dream of a midsummer night." The magic will remain in the hearts of the audience for a while 'and the words of the interviewee, that in telling his life continues to be a teacher, not even of Italian theater this time, but of life.
