Enrico Bertolino - Una serata di ordinaria ironia

Enrico Bertolino - An Evening of Ordinary Irony

The comedian in a show that nods to the Michael

Douglas film "A Day of Ordinary Falling."

One of the most beloved in the national theater, Enrico uses the paradox of

comedy to discuss today's world: automation and

unbridled digitalization, the elimination of real-life encounters due to

cell phones. And he adds the pandemic, from which we have learned nothing,

to a world of things we cannot accept, but that seem designed

on purpose for making jokes about. A nod to the film "A

Day of Ordinary Falling" thus gives rise to the most understandable reflection:

good antidotes for survival? To be honest, it's better to be ironic

with intelligence, just as Bertolino knows how. This show is

almost a handbook on how to look through the lens of paradox and

comedy at a landscape of political correctness,

unbridled automation and digitalization, and the elimination of human

relationships. Among sixty-year-olds who are divorced several times and still unresolved, among examples of

homo analogicus and homo digitalis queuing at the post office, here is the irresistible

portrait of a generation that has not only "lost," but has very

likely also "lost" itself.
