Arena, ''Carmen''

Verona

For 2009 resumption, Franco Zeffirelli brought a drastic intervention to the scenography that he signed for the Arena in 1995. The plaza de toros in Seville is recalled in a symbolic way with several big printed reproductions of bullfighters of the beginning of last century.

In this scene, as it rarely happens in the contemporary scenography, the use of the Print digital finds a reasonable justification, because the printings magnify what already in the originals were printed reproductions - even if of original paintings. These are in fact posters of the Twenties, above all, of shows of bullfighting ...
... on which the historical names of Hemingway's period bullfighters are engraved, as Domingo Ortega (1908-1988), Manuel Jiménez ''Chicuelo'' (1902-1967), Marcial Lalanda (1903-1990), José Gárate ''Limeño'' (1895-1921), Rafael Gómez Ortega ''El Gallo'' (1882-1960), ''Juan Belmonte'' García (1892-1962) and several others.
The detail of one of the reproductions realized on ASC - Sceno printat digital muslin.«Zeffirelli, this time, works for subtraction, reorganizing the native project inspired to the taste of the painted scene and to the realism.The coloured and picturesque Seville almost reconstructed in real dimension on the slopes of the Arena leaves the place to light interventions and projections.The stage is delimited by a series of poles that in the second and in the fourth act support some vintage manifestos with representations of bullfighters.» Roberto Mori, in L'opera, n. 239, page 37.
The burrow of the smugglers of the third act. The wild precipices among which Don Josè and Escamillo are faced are symbolically recalled also in this case, without any pretension of realism, with two groups of three legs realized on ASC - Sceno printat digital muslin.
The inn of Lillas Pastia of the second act is recalled in the scene by magnified reproductions of vintage placards cu reproductions of gipsies cu Print digital.
The 19 placards in Print digital that show the gipsies have been gathered on the wings on the sides of a central image, three for each part. According to the indications given by the scenographer, the reproductions had been sewn on the scenes realized with UCO - Scenonet.
Other backdrops made of black UCO - Scenonet net were used as a support for compositions with a deliberately coarse and unkempt appearance, which Franco Zeffirelli made with ropes, trimmings and fragments of other nets with a larger mesh.
