"Suite Horovitz"... Sweet opportunity

Our Saturday began in a very artistically Spoleto way... at a press conference for an exciting play that is coming to the beautiful, local Hotel San Luca.

Andrea Paciotto is the director of Compagnia Horovitz-Paciotto Company, in addition to many interesting things, and is a really nice guy we were introduced to at an early art exhibit opening.

Beginning on Thursday, Steve and I will be doing what can to help with the play's production.  Each scene takes place in a different part of the hotel (lobby, dining room, a guest room).  Today we were given glimpses of the acts, in their specific locations.  We have never been part of something this unique and we feel honored to have been asked to participate.  The press conference was exciting.  We can't wait to be there for the actual performances all next weekend.

SUITE HOROVITZ is a site specific theatre performance composed of six one act plays, taking place inside different spaces of a Hotel. Six short bittersweet plays, funny and touching, provoking and entertaining. Each text presents a different point of view, a glimpse in the private lives of ordinary men and women. https://sites.google.com/site/compagniahorovitzpaciottoen/home

Watching these one act plays, written by one of the most respected contemporary American playwrights, is like being in front of Picasso's sketches […] It is like peeking at this innovative author behind his back, while he's experimenting with his creative skills, facing different themes and ideas evolving into complete works. -Nancy Ellen Shore

The hotel is a perfect place for setting a play. Everyone knows that hotels are busy places, many things happen in it, many stories intersect, people meet, betray and leave each other. These plays are accurate and detailed, written with great care, even the characters are depicted in a way that reveal something deeper. Horovitz's bigger merit is to tell about life, even most awful stories, with lightness. In this way, he lets us see those aspects of life that we often refuse to see. Taken as a whole body, these fragments represent an engaging kaleidoscope of humanity, giving voice to small and great dramas, to the fears, the dreams, the hopes of everyone's ordinary life. -Gianfranco Capitta
