Seminar with Alessandro Bergonzoni
Anchorman PierGiorgio Nosari, with Sergio Manghi

Alessandro Bergonzoni is a comedy actor. Indeed, he is a comedian who can make a weird and surprising use of words. He puts the absurd in a speech apparently logic and makes laugh, that is one of the most difficult practices on Earth. “I am a thinker” he says of himself. He says what he thinks with a surreal language, full of double entendres and triple somersaults.“...And I could talk about it infinitively, but I hate Leopardi and all fur-bearing poets”.

Bergonzoni puts up on the stage an original show exclusively for Notti di Luce where some teasers build buil reasonings ironically playing on the key subjects of the event: myth, origins, travel.

Alessandro Bergonzoni was born in Bologna in 1958. As theatre actor/author showed up with Non è morto nè Flic nè Floc (Nor Flic neither Floc died) (1987), and debuted as writer with Le balene restino sedute (Whales may remain setead), that won Bordighera Golden Palm in June 1990 as best comedy book of the year, anticipating for many aspects, the press phemomenon of comedy actors bursted these years. Polihedral artist, he has collaborated for a long time with Radio 2 and interpreted the role of the circus director in Roberto Benigni’s Pinocchio. Among the other published books, Motivi di soddisfazione accampati nel deserto, Il grande Fermo e i suoi piccoli andirivieni, Opplero. Storia di un salto, and Silences - Alessandro Bergonzoni Theatre, the collection of his six theatre texts that give the account of Bergonzoni’s fifteen years of activity.
