“When I was a boy” is the story of Anna Fougez, one of the first stars of the Italian variety, and of the outing stories of her “boys”.
Friday 21 December 2018 goes on stage at the Nuovo Teatro Sanità in Naples When I was a boy, a show by Antonella Monetti that tells the story of Anna Fougez, one of the first stars of the Italian variety. The project, produced by Teatri d'Imbarco and Nuovo Teatro Sanità, focuses on the "boys" outing stories who flanked the Fougez in his performances, facing unprecedented the theme of homophobia and discrimination.
After debuting as a young singer and actress, Anna Fougez found herself treading the most important stages in the twentieth century 20, alongside celebrities such as Ettore Pretolini, Gino Franzi, Gennaro Pasquariello, Elvira Donnarumma, Armando Gill, Gabre, interpreting the most famous Neapolitan songs abroad. It soon became the "sciantosa" par excellence, a true queen of the variety that on stage he loved to surround himself on the stage of "boys" who had to be all strictly gay.
Lo spettacolo When I was a boy offers to spectators a cross-section of the Italian 20 variety, between Cafè-chantant and the soubrette dressed in rhinestones and ostrich feathers, almost as a sign of revenge after the horrors of the First World War. Antonella Monetti focuses particularly on the many "boys" outing stories, through a story, at the same time, brilliant and dramatic.
