After a long time back on stage Corrado Guzzanti, who is taking around Italy with its new touring play called Recital. On May 9, will include visits to Paladozza of Bologna and the famous satirist we will again present the best of his characters as original creations by the holy man that and the Vulva host of imitations of the best-known political figures.
For years the shows of this type have been forced to migrate from television to theaters and sports arenas. The fact satire in Italy is now almost completely disappeared from the small screen as it is increasingly common removal of comedians from a program or closing it if they are jokes or statements that are made annoying for those who are at "high levels" of management (an example is the recent decision to remove the program Vauro Annozero). While Germany and France are quietly aired shows such as Popetown , irreverent and satirical cartoon against the Pope and the Church, or Les Guignols , program with puppets that imitate and mock politicians of every nation, from every sentence we could always wrong to have drastic consequences: lawsuits, threats, censorship, Bulgarian edicts. Censure that often affect some media all over the field of journalism, but for the world of television are particularly pressing. The same Guzzanti In an interview last year on the subject of satire in our country said: "Elsewhere it is tolerated by the political class, not in Italy. The satire is considered inconvenient, was opposed by the TV executives. If they have done little, has prevailed the model of comic consumption, type of cabaret. " Comedians for consumption or merely entertainers on the model of Zelig and Colorado Cafè, users of a comic end in itself that is not asked more goals than the laughter of the audience. Guzzanti other hand, considers the purpose of satire is to bring forth in the viewer food for thought, stimulating the public consciousness and lead to greater awareness of the reasons that led him to smile. Unlike his sister Sabina who claims in a political satire targets for the activity Corrado Guzzanti satire must criticize, leading the viewer to reflect. His imitations of politicians because they do not exceed in insults and injuries, sometimes attracting the sympathy of stakeholders, such as Prodi and Bertinotti.
safe now for comedy is not very easy to play this role in a media system where freedom of expression is extremely limited by the risk of being thrown out for having leaked some form of opposition to the thought of the powerful. Precisely for this reason that Guzzanti launched harsh criticism of the industry Italian information and instead welcomed the Internet and blogs, like that of Beppe Grillo, seen as a new form of communication difficulty and criticism as "a volcano ready to explode."
