Il teatro come spettacolo e lo spettacolo teatrale in Alberto Arbasino

Abstract

This essay analyzes the role and the function of theatre and show in the different Alberto Arbasino’s works and poetic. It points out the paradigm from melodrama to cabaret, to musical, to magazine. Inside the courses and appeals, inevitable for the anthropology and the history, the predilection of the theatre is a lack and an artistic urgency to other forms, as it happens during the Italian crisis of the decade 1970-1980 and in the recent years.
