Of Mud and Men: Spectres of Pasolini in Canadian Theatre
Keywords:
theatre, Canada, Pasolini, Gilbert, NadeauAbstract
While we find no trace of Pasolini’s plays being staged in Canada, his spectre haunts the work of two Canadian artists: Sky Gilbert and Gaétan Nadeau whose plays mostly depict the Italian figure as a piece of mud for a few men to play with.
Di fango e uomini: spettri di Pasolini nel teatro canadese
Non vi è traccia di messa in scena dei testi di Pasolini in Canada, però il suo spettro perseguita il lavoro di due artisti canadesi: Sky Gilbert e Gaétan Nadeau, nei cui spettacoli l’autore italiano è generalmente rappresentato come un pezzo di fango con il quale giocano gli uomini.
