Maggio Teatrale Zumellese

The spotlight is back on the XXXVI edition of the theater festival "Maggio Teatrale Zumellese" in Borgo Valbelluna at the S.Pietro Auditorium in Mel! Since 1988, around fifty amateur and professional companies, mostly from Veneto, have taken to the stage, representing a great cultural resource for our area and bringing high-quality performances every year that capture the attention and appreciation of the audience.

This year, the festival will also begin with the presentation of the workshops of Borgo in Scena organized by Art Dolomites. Actor and trainer Alberto Fornasati has led these workshops divided into three groups of different ages, and on May 17 at 6 p.m., he will showcase the results of these sessions.

On Saturday, May 23 at 9 p.m., the group i Comelianti from S.Stefano di Cadore, one of the most active companies in the Province, will present a "noir" comedy Innocenti, ma non troppo, loosely based on the film "The Conspiracy of Innocents" by Alfred Hitchcock.

Following that, on May 30 at 9 p.m., the company LaTrappola from Vicenza returns to Mel with the show “I will kill you until you die”, a sparkling comedy with a comic crescendo of paradoxical and hilarious situations that will reveal more than just a single mystery.

We continue on Saturday, June 6 at 9 p.m. with “Sic Transit Gloria Mundi – The Pope Woman” by Ippogrifo Produzioni from Verona. A funny and imaginative monologue that tells the hypothetical and controversial election of a female pope. There’s much laughter and just as much thinking.

The festival will conclude with the double appointment on June 13 and 14 at 9 p.m., featuring the Gruppo Teatrale Zumellese debuting their new show “Curious Women” by C.Goldoni. A comedy revolving around the theme of curiosity, with women as the protagonists in a sequence of actions aimed at discovering and revealing the arcane mysteries of their men engaged in encounters, which they claim, are of dubious legality.
