Premiere of «L'Imbroglione» at the Teatro Gioiello
Date of the event:
«L'Imbroglione» is the show with which the Compagnia Torino Spettacoli premiered at the Teatro Gioiello in Turin on Friday 6 November 2026, with further performances on Saturday 7 at 9pm and Sunday 8 at 4pm, as part of the season curated by Fabrizio Di Fiore [1][2]. The production transposes Titus Maccius Plautus's Pseudolus to the 1920s, blending Art Nouveau touches, jazz and swing sounds, and a retro atmosphere [1].
The show
The text is by Gian Mesturino and Girolamo Angione, who co-directs with Elia Tedesco; the choreography is by Gianni Mancini and Laura Fonte, the music by Simone Gullì [1]. The plot revolves around Pseudolus, a cunning servant who, to free the woman his young master loves, orchestrates a series of deceptions, going so far as to bet on the success of his own schemes [1][2].
Cast
The cast includes Elia Tedesco, Valentina Massafra, Enzo Montesano and Luca Simeone, alongside the Germana Erba's Talents Ryann Malfitano, Oliver Arrighini, Alena Natoli and Filippo Spina (alternating with Leonardo Caivano) [1][2]. The Plauto's Girls Alessia Cargnin, Gaia Lotumolo, Giulia Esposito, Martina Marrucchiello, Nora De Giuli and Virginia Lusitano complete the cast [1][2].
The Compagnia Torino Spettacoli
Under the artistic direction of Girolamo Angione and Irene Mesturino, the company has already staged numerous Plautine comedies, including Miles Gloriosus, Mostellaria, Aulularia, Casina, Rudens, Menaechmi and Trinummus, continuing a more than twenty-year path of promoting classical theatre [1][2]. The show was performed at the Teatro Gioiello, on via Colombo 31 in Turin [2].
