4 - DOCUMENTARIES AND PERFORMANCES

In 2004 the director Valeria Spera shoot a documentary about the Tragedia dell'Arte - Actor Techniques from the iconography of Egon Schiele, during the masterclass within L'Arlecchino Errante of that year. The short film titled "Tratti Indosso - Nervi Riflessi" won the first prize in the documentary section at the Cortopotere International Festival 2005, with the specialized jury of LAB 80 and Bergamo Film Meeting.

The project Tragedia dell'Arte now defines the style of the contemporary performances of Arlecchino Claudia Contin, even when the dramaturgy does not directly concerns the life and the work of Schiele.

In 2004, she writes and stages with Ferruccio Merisi the new show "Harlequin and his Double", in which Claudia Contin Arlecchino brings to comparing and a makes dialogue between the specular and opposite techniques of her Commedia dell'Arte and her Tragedia dell'Arte. It is a show specifically built for foreign tours of the actress, which combines English, Italian, and a multi-speech harlequinesque dialect, in which the physical and gestural language makes meanings and stories understandable at any latitude. Harlequin and his Double debuted in Denmark in its first version in 2004, followed six years later, in 2010 in Brazil, with the birth of the new version still in the repertoire.
