Per la giornata nazionale del #teatro, da #Enthymema un saggio sul rapporto tra teatro e #automobile attraverso la lente dei Mobility Studies e dei Performance Studies.

Si può fare teatro in un’auto? La risposta è sì, e Mobile Thriller ne è la prova!
Monologo ambientato in un'auto che viaggia sulla tangenziale di #Milano, inizialmente rappresentato in luoghi teatrali tradizionali a Milano e #Glasgow e poi in una vera automobile al #FringeFestival di Edimburgo.

Note: slight "#mature" theme here. I'm not applying a CW - when I was a kid, this would have caused a 12-year-old to titter, but kids these days have read and seen far more explicit stuff a thousand times.

So I wanted to post something that wasn't politics, that isn't news or topical. Something amusing, maybe, and something I've not posted before. I happened to be reminded of the novel Singularity Sky by Charles Stross yesterday, which has as #inspiration for part of it the #Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

That reminded me of a Fringe experience of mine. So here it is. It won't make you rich, or smarter, or wiser, but maybe will give you a laugh.

My partner and I went to a tiny Fringe festival in a small town some years ago. It was basically a whistle stop between two cities in western Canada; I have no idea why the touring Fringe would even stop there, but it did, at least some of it.

One of the performances we saw was a version of MacBeth. It was highly #abbreviated, sort of a cross between a Reader's Digest condensed version, and what you would get if P.D.Q. Bach had an English cousin who did Shakespeare.

"Johannesson, along with fellow authors Mikaela Loach and Mohamed Tonsy, disrupted Loach’s Saturday event as they called on the festival to drop its main sponsor, #BaillieGifford, after revelations that it has billions invested in #FossilFuels, prompting the climate activist #GretaThunberg to cancel her own #BookFestival appearance.

There was no demand for refunds as the audience of 180 exited the auditorium chanting in unison."
