Acting is good, the big old men always on stage

(by Paolo Petroni) (ANSA) - ROME, APRIL 19 - A special year for the theater this 2020, with two sacred monsters born in the 1920s that are one hundred years old: on Monday April 20 Gianrico Tedeschi and on July 31 FrancaValeri, who still goes in front of the public , even if only to tell its century of history from the Gobbi to today. With them varicordato Glauco Mauri, also on stage this season at 94 years played with a '' King Lear '', who shortly after the beginning of each show revitalizes himself on sight and finds his depth as an interpreter. Is acting good, extending life? Creativity is probably the elixir, if you look at the other arts too, where you often meet great old men until the very end.
    Suffice it to mention Giorgio Albertazzi whose last appearance at the age of 91, as Shylock in the '' Merchant of Venice '', was in 2015, a year before he died. Or Paolo Poli, who also disappeared at 88 in 2016, always faithful to his theatrically playfully irreverent and immoralist. Very active is Roberto Herlitzka with his 83 years, who confesses that going on stage is perhaps a struggle, but at the same time it is "an absolutely revitalizing necessity". (HANDLE).
