The king is old and the young prince about to die of sadness. the destiny of the kingdom is in charge of a dubious jester who must rescue the lost joy of the prince with stories. It's just laugh or die.
The Love for Three Oranges is a storytelling show for adults based on three versions of an old folk tale: The three cedars of Gianbattista Basile (1636), The love of the three oranges by Carlo Gozzi (1761) y Love for Three Oranges by Vsevolod Meyerhold y Serguei Prokoviev (1918). Our montage seeks to recover the imprint that each of these versions left on the original: the gift of words and the Neapolitan mischief of Basile, Gozzi's scathing satire and Meyerhold and Prokofiev's futurist manifesto, with the aim of creating a new variant of the story. It is a contemporary way of narrating an old and beautiful story. It is to offer the public imagination a series of funny stories, wise and amazing. Es, no more no less, that the literary artifice of innocence becoming music and the spoken word.
