FELICE, L'ATTORE CHE DIPINGE
by Marco Venditti, Antonio De Lucia
Felice Andreasi is an accomplished actor, a former cabaret entertainer and satirist, but not everyone knows about his vocation for painting. This is an old calling dating back to when he was sixteen, born while observing a Modigliani painting.
"The aim is to present the complex and multifaceted artistic personality of Felice Andreasi, who swings back and forth between the artist's smock and the actor's stage costumes" (Antonio De Lucia, Enrico Venditti).
