Happy Carnevale!
Carnival has intersection with commedia dell'arte and also with the foundation of our troupe. Two years ago we staged "The Horrible and Terrifying Deeds and Words of Niphleseth, Queen of the Wild Island of Chitterlingonian Sausages" inspired by the 16th Century satirical novels by François Rabelais. In our play, Dottore Gratiano, Capitano Testosteroné, and Arlecchino hope the spirit of Carnevale season will save them when faced against a supposed army of sausage warriors!
Watch these clips from our performances - including the premiere at the OSU Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies conference which we'll be returning to this weekend with a brand new farce!
