Pierluigi Coppola

Pierluigi Coppola is an actor for theatre, cinema and television whilst carrying out lengthy research into physical theatre, in particular Commedia dell’Arte. Pier studied Commedia in Italy, with Antonio Fava (International School of Comic Actors and International Workshop in Commedia dell’Arte). In 2006, after six years of research, he produced, directed and interpreted Una Maschera in Prestito: <<...the show is a homage to Commedia dell’Arte, to the Italian comic tradition, and represents a form of anthropological study into this theatrical art...>>. Pier continued to work on his teaching method, concentrating mainly on the use of the poetic body, compelling him to adopt the character-body mask of a living sculpture, a super-human marionette.
