Research and Design of the Art Work – Istituto Comprensivo Lucatelli

To create a work of art we started by researching the character and the historical period. We were looking for information on the public and private life of Giuseppe Lucatelli connected with the historical period of the end of the 1700s. We were looking for information on the local tradition and the characters that Lucatelli met.

We studied the paintings and works created by Giuseppe Lucatelli in the different cities where he lived, we read the letters he wrote and analyzed his travels.

Through meetings with experts, we learned that a theatrical work can contain the true and the plausible.

Students from all the first grades of the school were involved with writing workshops to begin writing the narrative and then the screenplay which was divided into episodes and then into scenes.

The songs and incidental music were created based on the script.

At this point we have created the casting and rehearsal plan.

We organized music and choreography workshops.

We chose the performers but, at the same time, the students understood that even a small role has the same importance as a big role.

We had separate rehearsals for music, dance and acting and then rehearsals in sections. Finally we did the general rehearsal for the show.
