Teatrul Mastilor show, which premiered in October 2022, is a theatrical experiment that brings commedia dell'arte to the fore: "One day, in a small square, which symbolises all the public squares in the world, arrives an extraordinary, welcome, blessed group of comedians. The Nemaipomenitii (the Magnificent) company stages for the public an extraordinary journey into the universe of commedia dell'arte. The public will immerse themselves in the fascinating world of the theatre, in that universe which today is considered 'modern theatre'", explains director Michele Modesto Casarin, as quoted in the press release.
