I was born on a journey, between one square and another, in a family that has made a history of travel and illusion. My father Tommaso, known as Masi, built our Mobile Theatre in 1948, all by hand, all in wood, 500 seats: the “Piccolo Carro di Tespi” of the “Compagnia Italiana di Prosa Carrara-Laurini”. Theatre and, next to it, the caravan: a house on solid rubber wheels for a family of travelling actors for ten generations. A life on the road until 1975 when the Mobile Theatre became a permanent theatre. The ways change but the journey continues: international tours, new ideas of Popular Theatre, the reinvention of the Commedia dell’Arte, the reinterpretation of the classics, children’s theatre. For twenty years Arlecchino accompanied me around the world, from Japan to the Americas. Now the mask rests, no longer fixed-faced scripts, but many stories that emerge from the past and reinvent themselves in the present. For me, doing theater is being inside it, living it, reinventing it, and so here I am, always ready to transform, change, mutate without denying memories and experiences that remain the precious legacy from which I continue to draw with both hands. Today there are new characters, costumes, make-up, but the heart, the necessary essence of “doing Theater” always remains the same: the reflection of a flame in the eyes of those who bring theater to life and theater, as we know, lives only if it burns.
