During last year I've been writing for SuccoAcido as a theater editor. Marc De Dieux SuccoAcido editor in chief asked me to organize the theatre section of this online crossing language art magazine. Succoacido was a paper magazine until 2004 with a very nice square graphic format. I'm not a journalist as many people writing there who are art operators, actors, musician, and other professional figures involved in art. I'll keep on writing for this magazine as one of the many editors writing there, sometimes when my running project will allow me to do this. When I started writing on SuccoAcido Magazine I was asked to write an editorial about theatre, and I started my reflections from a book of Martoglio's (Sicilian playwriter) plays I've found in my grandmother's house. In this book I found some coursive notes taken by my grandmothers about a play of Martoglio she was putting on scene with friends and relatives. She was not a famous actress but during those years many people spent sometime organizeing this kind of events, maybe at home Television didn't exist in 1922 and radio lacked images. The questions for me were WHAT is theatre today? And WHY people involved in theatre do this kind of activity nowadays? I decided to start from this old papers. Of course my article "El Arte Invisible" doesn't reach any conclusion BUT writing helped me to understand better my relationship with theater. I interviewed some actors: Gary Brackett from NY Living Theatre, Francesca Tortora (Chi per es teatro), Maria Francesca Spagnuolo, Giacomo Guarneri (Danlenuar); dancers:Mayte Vaos, Cinzia Scordia to understand the point of view of people celebrating this kind of ritus. As I'm a musician I interviewed also my theacher and friend Emiliano Turazzi about some interesting issues in music, and there are also some reviews about some theatrical performance ("Uomini al buio" by Claudio Collovà at Caltanissetta Rosso Festival, "Doc.A'" by Cinzia Scordia for Y.Quasar at Catania). I'm still workin' on some interviews. During this experience I had the chance to work in contact with Marc De Dieux (SuccoAcido editor in chief), Costanza Meli (Art Editor), Giuseppe Guarneri (Writing Editor), Marie Denise Sclafani (Comics Editor), Marion Weber (Comics Editor), and the guys writing on theater page during this year Giovanni Vernucci, Silvia Giuffrè, Matteo Lucchetti, Valentina Angeleri, Arianna Carcano giving precious support to SuccoAcido theatre page. SuccoAcido is a web portal continously developed by Edizioni De Dieux with Gianluca Giacalone.
