Description
DellâArteâs Professional Training Program proudly presents Commedia Showcase:
LIL MOJO RETURNS. FEB 10th thru 12th.
âTo Revolt against Escapism, we must return to our roots.â
 LIL MOJO RETURNS, created by the students of the 2021-22 Professional Training Program, is the zany farcical story of an uprising. The Zanni, the servant class of the Commedia DellâArte, have had enough of the corrupt patriarchal rule of President John D. Magnifico and his regime. His daughter Rosa (Lil Mojo), the peopleâs choice, is inspired to lead them to a new enlightened, joyous, and unified world society. President Magnifico, in terror that he is losing popularity, scratches desperately to maintain control. Meanwhile, Dottore runs down the economy, Capitano is mismanaging the Military Industrial Complex, and Ruffiana Rag is grappling with the countryâs out of control social media! Masks, mayhem, live music, magical ethos, revolution, and madness abound in this parade of human folly and enthusiastic revolt.
Commedia DellâArte meets Superdrama! Known by its distinct masked character âtypes,â improvisational play, musicality, acrobatics, and a bold, presentational style, Commedia DellâArte meets and smashes with Superdrama, a contemporary and complementary re-imagining of the centuries-old form. Performances are high octane, over-the-top, bawdy, musical, physical, and involve themes that may be a little spicy for young kids. Laugh all you want as the DellâArte PTP ensemble navigates this audacious terrain.
