The show Pimpa, the polka dot musical, which will debut in a national premiere at the Roman Theatre during the Verona Summer Theatre Season on Friday, August 1, and Saturday, August 2, aims to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Pimpa, created by the cartoonist, caricaturist, and satirical author Francesco Tullio-Altan in 1975, and considered one of the most iconic characters in the Italian cultural landscape.
The little dog with red polka dots, born from Altan's pen almost playfully from the drawings he prepared for his daughter, has colored the upbringing of thousands of children and their parents, who still fondly remember the adventures lived.
The theater project directed by Enzo d’Alò, with the dramaturgy of Altan and music by Eleonora Beddini, is part of a dense calendar celebrating the character, recounting between classical literature and musical theater, the adventures of the little dog in a brand new setting, set against the evocative historical backdrop of Verona combined with the magic of Shakespearean theater.
The intent will be to create an imaginary bridge between children's imagination and classical theater, using the universal themes of the "Bard," which are still so relevant today.
After the launch in Verona, the show will continue its national tour in October in the theaters of Trento, Turin, and Milan.
