Today, we went to see a mimic show in a theater in Madrid.
This is a one man show that has triumphed in more than 70 countries, and we had the chance to see how Ennio Marchetto, 51, an Italian from Venice transformed himself changing rapidly to do his memorable interpretations of some famous international and local personalities such as: Mona Lisa, Lady Gaga, Marilyn Monroe, Celine Dion, Abba, Barbra Streisand, Madonna, Dolly Parton, Amy Winehouse, Tina Turner, Elvis, Freddie Mercury, Beyonce Knowles, Queens, Liza Minelli, Julio Iglesias, Lola Flores, Rafael, Alaska, Miguel Bosé, etc.
Ennio's show was inspired by the animated cartoons of Disney which he used to watch when he was a boy, with the modern coreography of Pina Bausch and the carnival air of his natal city of Venice.
Ennio's show along with an unbeatable sound track, made him gain numerous international awards and made it a global phenomenon.
The quickness of his movements as he transformed from one personality to the other sometimes wearing three layers of extravagant clothes and masks, created from origami, immitating different personalities, was a funny thing to watch as he danced and interpreted some all times favorite songs.
It was different from all the other shows that we have seen before and the four of us who watched Ennio, along with many others of the audience, were all delighted and entertained with the show. Too bad we were not allowed to take pictures.
Yes, we had a big laugh, it was short but very intense! Lola Flores and ABBA performances were awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy favourites: Belly dancer and Dolly Parton with donkey, hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI liked Abba's immitation best for the double personalities he interpreted at the same time, very funny! Tks Ron for the invitation, excellent choice to invite also your future mother-in-law who seemed to have like it a lot too.
