presents, The World is a Stage: A Carrosse d’or for Mimi Aguglia – a lecture by Dr. Giuliana Muscio on Wednesday, April 8, 2015 at 7 p.m. in Argyros Forum 209A.
This presentation will discuss the cosmopolitan world of the “colonial theatre,” in particular the experiences of Italian performers in North and South America – an artistic tradition brilliantly evoked by Anna Magnani in the film Le Carrose d’or by Jean Renoir. The work of Mimi Aguglia, an actress who left Sicily very young with the company of Giovanni Grasso, will be the main focus.
This event is free and open to the public.
