Teatro Bellini
Autonomous Dignity of Prostitution
The now famous format conceived by Luciano Melchionna, from the format of Betta Cianchini and Luciano Melchionna, returns, exceptionally for the Christmas period, which this year will literally overturn the Bellini Theater, transforming it into "Closed house of art", where actors / prostitutes in dressing gowns will "approach" the spectators / customers, in an atmosphere of soft red lights. To attend the "pills of pleasure", that is theatrical monologues of various kinds, the public will have to pay with special "dollars" distributed before entering the theater, and negotiate the price of the individual "performances" of the actors.
Exceptionally Autonomous Dignity of Prostitution will be held on Christmas Eve and New Year's night, in a crazy crazy party that between theater, music, toasts, jokes and jokes will go on until dawn, in a crescendo of revelry and surprises.
Date: Until 31 December 2015
Price tickets: from 17 to 23 euro
Where: Bellini Theater, via Conte di Ruvo 14
