Pippo Delbono is one of the most prominent personalities of the contemporary Italian theater. Author, actor, and director, he begins training in traditional theater, then, in Denmark, he studies the principles of oriental theater, through a rigorous work on body and voice. Later, in Germany, he’s invited by Pina Bausch to follow her work. At the beginning of the 1980s he founded the Compagnia Pippo Delbono, creating most of his works with them, from Il tempo degli assassini (1987) to Orchids (2013). He does not stage plays but, rather, total creations, devised with a stable group of actors whose number has grown through the years.
