* MODERN COMMEDIA DELL´ARTE MASK WORKSHOP with CARLOS GARCIA ESTEVEZ- TEATRO PUNTO
Teatro Punto makes theater where the actor is the author of the story. As the actor on stage is stripped of supports such as extended settings and a fixed script, he can become the author of a tragicomic show. He does this through movement, text, techniques and imagination. Carlos’ main source of inspiration is Commedia dell'Arte. Employing his training, imagination, intellect and a great deal of hard work and experimentation Carlos has taken the Commedia to new heights. His story telling takes the masks into new territory. He has discovered ways to make the life within each mask not only amuse and engage the audience but takes them to the dark side. A theater form full of acting possibilities; it is precise and vulnerable, yet above all else it is alive.
