Lazzo de amor
Free admission until full capacity (80 people). Tickets are distributed 1 hour before the performance (4 per person). Theatrical performance of the play 'Lazzo de amor' by the 'Los Hilarantes' company. Isabela suffers for love. She is in love with Flavio, but he has never dared to confess his feelings to her. Meanwhile, her parents believe it is time to find her a husband. As if that were not enough, Il Dottore, Flavio's father, announces to his son that they will be leaving for Paris so that he can continue his studies at the prestigious Sorbonne University. The arrival of a boastful Captain, who claims to possess immense wealth in lands he conquered himself, seems to offer a solution to all the problems. Pantalone, Isabela's father and a wealthy merchant, does not hesitate to offer him his daughter's hand, convinced that such a marriage will be a perfect business deal. The Captain, delighted with the proposal, accepts immediately. Desperate at the possibility of losing his beloved, Flavio decides to write her a letter to declare his love. He entrusts Arlecchino with the delicate mission of delivering it, but the servant, true to his clumsy and scatterbrained nature, ends up tearing it up on the way. Far from giving up, he tries to read it as best he can, although his words end up turning the declaration of love into complete nonsense. Isabela, indignant and hurt, comes to the conclusion that Flavio does not love her. Meanwhile, the Captain walks the streets boasting about his upcoming wedding to the beautiful daughter of a rich merchant, bragging about having achieved it all thanks to his cunning and lies. But he does not count on Colombina having heard every one of his words. When Arlecchino confesses to Colombina the disaster he has caused, she, far from losing her cool, sets in motion an ingenious plan so that Flavio and Isabela can clear up their misunderstandings and, in the process, unmask the Captain and reveal the liar hiding behind his bravado. Will love manage to find a way through broken letters, deceptions, and entanglements before it is too late? A play that faithfully recovers the spirit and essence of the Italian Commedia dell'arte. One and a half hours of laughter, guffaws, and surprising gags, with a breakneck pace that keeps the audience hooked from the very first moment and makes time fly before they even realize it.
