A laugh, a reflection, a biting monologue and a moment of pure entertainment, but all strictly in 60 minutes.
This is the last challenge of Enrico Brignano that starting from Tuesday 22 September will be broadcast on Rai2 in prime time with "A single hour there would be", his new one man show in which he ensures "we will do our best, despite the covid ".
Five episodes for a show conceived "as a compact variety a little old-fashioned: it is a revolutionary challenge to stay in the ranks of an hour, if you consider that today varieties often go beyond midnight", he says, underlining that it will be a excursus "concentrated" on "the main theme, time, but also on classic themes such as love and sex, to play a little. We will satire on customs and not politics".
Always with a smile on his lips, the great attention will be "on current events: the coronavirus is not just a matter of health, but of economy and world balance", he explains, although the program, which takes up the title of his theatrical show (" but it will not be the same thing, and those who bought the ticket can rest assured ", he guarantees), it will be recorded, avoiding the direct" only for a quality issue, even if this will make us rearrange the monologues until the end, to follow the latest news. Obviously there will also be a referendum but we are on horseback, because we have a monologue whether yes or no wins ".
The program is also a bet for Rai2 and, as its director Ludovico Di Meo states, "it will be an experiment that will have to inform, entertain and above all make people laugh because there is a great need. It is Enrico's turn to open the dances this season. The public is always unpredictable but I'm sure it will be a success. The duration takes us back to Studio Uno and in an hour we certainly won't get bored. "
And returning to the crisis of theaters, the director announces that he has "the intention of inventing something for the theater, perhaps as we did for the cinema with the First Set program", underlining that "little is said about the crisis of the cinema but on that there is silence of theaters. Certainly, theater suffered even before the covid ".
