LA GIUNGLA DELLE QUOTE ROSA (review)
(by Jessica Zecchinato)
It debuted on Thursday, December 9th 2010, on
the stage of the Duse theater in Rome, La giia delle quota rosa,
hilarious and
ultra-modern comedy written
and directed by Sasˆ Russo.
Actor, director and author, Sasˆ Russo is
also director of the theater company
Iposcenio born in Rome in 2010 with the aim of promoting
theatrical performances and artistic events of every form on the local and national territory; has several directories
to his credit
theatrical, he works in the cinema as an assistant director, conducts a cultural radio broadcast (l'Armadio) e
he ventured
into writing by publishing two books.
The story is
set in an office in the capital. Four women wake up every morning and know that for
conquering the prestigious "upstairs sitting" have to struggle, they must implement strategies, plans
action, tactics to grab the promotion.
Each
has its own
way of acting: Gabriella fixed
with yoga, the "zen that speaks
cin", has the ability
to "amuse"
in his free time with the director Alessandro Piano; Matilde focuses
on the sensuality of Argentine tango; Anna, the
"Spy",
always with the ear stretched out the doors of the offices of the colleagues, informs the director of gossip facts a
end of each working
day; finally, there is a clear
"naive". Naive because he still believes in meritocracy and
then work, work,
work ... believing that this is recognized.
Of course not!
The director
in a videoconference will present to the four aspiring candidates
who will sit on the beautiful Òarmchair in
leather, with a
high back Ó: it will not be any of them
but the daughter, just returned from a master's degree in New York.
So, slip away all hope: none of the four got the promotion. Well at least they will
have finished
fight and tend snares, traps,
each other? But no the office is a jungle and you have
to fight every day
to survive.
With an ironic look, the author and director was able
to denounce the life of a woman and fatigue
everyday to be a mother, a wife, a perfect career woman.
A successful
comedy thanks also to the skill of the four actresses Eleonora Micali (Gabriella), Veronica Corsi
(Matilde), Silvia Ferrari (Anna), Lorena Bartolomeo (Chiara) who boast brilliant
curricula, with experiences that
they range from theater to cinema, passing through programs like Lorena Bartolomeo.
The music, curated by Gian Paolo Ceccaglia, ranges from S / I love women by Sabrina Salerno to A / ejandro
di Lady
Gaga; songs that
will accompany until December 19 The jungle of the pink quotas, on the theater scene
Duse.
