La lampada di Pierino

Piero De Lucia, a comedic actor, author, and director, returns to the stage with his seventh work, a new farce-comedy titled "Pierino's Lamp."

With his forty years of theatrical experience, he aims to continue providing his audience with two hours of fun and lightheartedness filled with a galaxy of laughs. Pierino is a calm retiree living at home with his classic "nagging" wife. He doesn't have any particular hobbies but enjoys spending time reading newspapers, sitting on an armchair he purchased at a flea market for a few euros, amid his wife's continuous complaints.

One day, by pure chance, he finds inside this armchair an old, dusty, and rusty oil lamp. With a rag, he starts cleaning it, and magically, a Genie Wizard emerges from the lamp. Pierino, astonished by the surprise and wonder, gradually becomes familiar with the Genie, who convinces him to express the classic three wishes.

From that moment on, Pierino begins to voice all his desires and dreams, but later has to deal with his wife, portrayed by the extraordinary Lucia Coppola, the most beautiful woman in the world, played by the stunning Emanuella Lomanzo, his bothersome brother, played by the experienced Riccardo Lucchese, the whining neighbor, played by the fantastic Annalena Cardenio, and the troublemaking husband, played by the talented Vito Calabrese.

But most of all, he has to contend with the Genie Wizard, played by the masterful Filippo Donvito, who more than anyone else, as the story progresses, will mock poor Pierino, portrayed by the excellent Piero De Lucia, who is also the author of the play and directed it.

"Pierino's Lamp" will be on stage on December 28 and 29, 2024, and again on January 4/5/18/19/25/26, 2025, every Saturday at 9 PM and every Sunday at 7:30 PM at Teatro I.P.S. in Bari, at via Scipione l'Africano no. 272.
