AMMAN — The Italian embassy in Amman and the Dante Alighieri Committee in Amman will host two plays by the Italian theatre company “Compagnia del Sole” at the end of this month.
One play, titled “Il codice del volo” is a science-theatre play focused on the creation of Leonardo da Vinci’s flying machine, the other play, titled “L’oro della commedia italiana” is a lesson-performance following the history of Italian comedy, from Commedia dell’Arte to the Italian variety of the 20th century, according to a statement issued by the Italian embassy.
The two productions are directly supported by the Apulian Public Theatre Consortium as part of the international programme developed by the Italian region Puglia, which aims at fostering regional theatre, dance and music abroad, the statement said.
