Bangkok (Thailand) – September 20, 2015 (travelindex.com) – The multi-award-winning Rembrandt Hotel Bangkok will offer a comprehensive and professional theater program on a regular basis starting October 4. This significant initiative enriches Bangkok's contemporary culture. The hotel, best known for its world-famous Indian rooftop restaurant Rang Mahal and the modern Mexican restaurant Señor Pico, will present an elaborate theatrical production of "The Last Day of a Convict" as well as interdisciplinary theater workshops.

The project was written and directed by Maurizio Mistretta, an Italian artist living in Bangkok, and produced by Ulf Pilblad of All Soul Production and Eric Hallin, the general manager of the Rembrandt Hotel.

It is expected that the Rembrandt will host several thematic units each month, each featuring a workshop and a performance with the same content, chosen by an author or focusing on a trend or social issue.

The December program is based on Commedia dell'Arte and is led by Fulvio Ianneo, an Italian theatre master and director. Fulvio will conduct this Commedia dell'Arte workshop, in which participants will learn about the Arlecchino mask. The final performance is "Doctor Arlecchino" by Canovaccio, a member of the old Golosi comedy troupe.

Other planned productions are inspired by classic European authors such as Pirandello, Shakespeare, Camus, Collodi, Hugo and Pasolini.

Mr. Hallin explained that the Rembrandt Theatre was "a fabulous premiere for Bangkok." "Guests, patrons, and Bangkok's theatre lovers will appreciate the opportunity to experience plays rarely seen outside of Europe. Our aim is to contribute to Bangkok's vibrant, modern theatre scene with a blend of traditional Italian theatre, workshops, and multimedia offerings, including film and television."

The two acting workshops planned for October 10th and 11th will introduce the most advanced techniques of contemporary theatre using a wide range of European poetic and social productions from Hugo to Pasolini.

The Italian theatre, which takes place on October 24th and 25th, is a multidisciplinary workshop in which specific techniques are presented using various forms of improvisation.

Some of the participants from these two workshops will be selected to take part in the theatre production “The 6 Pinocchios” on November 8th.

The theatrical performance "The Last Day of a Convicted Man" will take place on October 4, 2015, at the Italian restaurant Da Vinci. The price is 2,250 THB net per person, including a three-course meal.
