Enrico Cavacchioli, once a renowned journalist, poet and playwright, is barely mentioned in contemporary anthologies or critical surveys. Once a highly respected representative of the Futurist movement, along with being one of the most prominent representatives of the Grotesque theatre, he is now almost completely neglected by critics. Cavacchioli\u2019s theatre brims with symbols and it offers ingenious theatrical solutions and responses to the incompetence heroes have in coping with an inconstant reality. Cavacchioli\u2019s masks are merely the expressions of the author\u2019s sarcasm in relation to life in general and theatre as its projection. The carnival and masks provide cover for all types of behavior of the protagonists. It appears much easier, therefore, to analyze the individual and collective tragedy of the protagonists, prevented by the society to act or behave at will, within a carnivalesque environment. Cavacchioli\u2019s masks, therefore, offer a wide range of sarcastic and realistically direct images of life, a sensation of diversity and impulsivity, and above all, of freedom. Cavacchioli\u2019s theatre is primarily characterized by a strong sensation of anarchism, offering unexpected solutions to the dramatic conflicts in a wide set of topics, in particular in relation to the perception of a deformed reality. Cavacchioli leaves the impression of a curious author who wants to be omnipresent, yet absent; of an author who wants to participate, yet be discretely left aside; of an author whose theatre is original and innovative; and finally, of an author who undoubtedly contributed to the development of a new concept of theatre between the two World Wars.Cavacchiolija svojedobno i svrstalo u pionire novog teatra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
