The Boys in the Band: L'opera Teatrale Manifesto Del Movimento Gay, Al VENERDì 7 FEBBRAIO 2020 A distanza di cinquant'anni dalla nascita del Movimento LGBT (giugno 1969, New York, Greenwich Village) e dopo le sei anteprime tenutesi a giugno allo Spazio Teatro 89 di Milano, inizia a breve la sua avventura per The Boys In The Band: l'opera i teatri italiani The Boys In The Band, l'opera teatrale del commediografo teatrale manifesto del movimento americano Mart Crowley, diventata manifesto del Movimento stesso. gay, al Teatro Nuovo di Milano dal 14 al 16 febbraio 2020 Pietra miliare della storia del teatro - prima commedia a tematica gay per il grande pubblico - questo testo viene per la prima volta proposto al pubblico italiano grazie alla traduzione e all'adattamento di Costantino della Gherardesca, che lo produce accanto a Giorgio Bozzo, il regista. The Boys In The Band andò in scena per la prima volta al Theatre Four di CRISTIAN PEDRAZZINI New York il 14 aprile del 1968 e, contro ogni previsione, rimase in cartellone per 1001 repliche fino al 6 settembre del 1970, divenendo così un punto di riferimento, un luogo di ispirazione per le prime grandi battaglie del Movimento omosessuale americano che ebbero inizio nel 1969. Un vero e proprio fenomeno di costume, uno spettacolo [email protected] precursore dei tempi in grado non solo di anticipare i fermenti sociali, SPETTACOLINEWS.IT politici ed artistici della comunità Lgbt, ma anche di conservare la propria forza negli anni e di essere oggi più che mai un'opera di strettissima attualità. Nel 1970 la commedia divenne anche un film per la regia di William Friedkin che in Italia uscì nelle sale con il titolo "Festa di compleanno per il caro amico Harold". In occasione del cinquantesimo anniversario della commedia (1968-2018) lo sceneggiatore e regista americano Ryan Murphy ha riportato in scena a Broadway THE BOYS IN THE BAND con un cast stellare tra cui Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto e Matt Bomer. A breve lo stesso Murphy realizzerà un remake del film per Netflix (uscita gennaio 2020) Costantino della Gherardesca descrive così The Boys In The Band: "Un testo pieno di vita e molto divertente da tradurre; le battute hanno saputo resistere al passare del tempo. La trama è ricca di sorprese, aggancia l'attenzione dello spettatore e lo trascina come un fiume in piena verso un finale rivelatorio che lascia senza fiato. I ragazzi di Crowley sono personaggi in cerca di emancipazione e di liberazione sessuale, eroi che lottano con le proprie nevrosi prima ancora che con una società che non li tollera. Sono personaggi complessi, non sono semplici maschere. Per quanto non facciano nulla per farsi amare è difficile non provare una profonda empatia nei loro confronti".? Pag. 1 / 2 "Inseguo il sogno di mettere in scena in Italia The Boys In the Band da tantissimi anni, ma adesso è diventata per me quasi un'urgenza - dichiara il regista e coproduttore Giorgio Bozzo. - The Boys è un vero documento storico, che racconta la realtà delle persone omosessuali prima della loro lotta di emancipazione. È un testo che non serve solo a ricordare come eravamo, ma che riesce a far capire come si potrebbe tornare ad essere. Per questo, ben lungi dall'essere una pièce datata, The Boys ha oggi più che mai una forza di racconto e di motivazione per tutti coloro che hanno lottato e lottano per i diritti civili della comunità Lgbt, proponendosi come antidoto contro ogni tentativo di restaurazione e di oscurantismo. Una divertentissima pièce per tutti, che spero possa essere vista soprattutto dai più giovani." La trama è ambientata in un appartamento all'altezza della 50esima strada a New York, dove un gruppo di amici omosessuali ha organizzato la festa di compleanno per uno di loro, Harold, che compie 32 anni. Tutto inizia con l'arrivo di Donald, amico del padrone di casa, Michael, e man mano degli altri invitati: Larry, Hank, Bernard, Emory. A sorpresa però si presenta anche Alan, vecchio amico dei tempi del college di Michael, che dice di aver disperata necessità di parlare con lui. Alan rimane coinvolto, suo malgrado, in un crescendo di bevute, screzi, battute pesanti che culminano con l'arrivo di un giovane midnight cowboy, assoldato come "regalo di compleanno", e infine Harold, il festeggiato. Al culmine della serata Michael costringe i suoi ospiti a prendere parte ad una sorta di "gioco della verità" che si rivela brutale per molti di loro. Nella nuova versione di Costantino e Giorgio Bozzo, si è mantenuta intatta quella girandola di stati d'animo che ha segnato la cifra - e il successo - dell'originale. Una commedia estremamente ironica e divertente come una sit-com, caratterizzata da un ritmo incessante di battute, feroci e spiazzanti, che a quasi due terzi diventa un vero e proprio poderoso pugno nello stomaco, con momenti poeticamente drammatici. I Boys di Crowley frugano l'uno nella vita degli altri, alzano veli, dicono l'indicibile, con cinismo, con sarcasmo, ma non senza amore e, in fondo, con la speranza di portarsi in salvo, tutti. Il debutto della stagione 2019/2020 di The Boys in the Band è stato al Teatro Puccini di Firenze il 1° dicembre scorso, in occasione della Giornata mondiale della lotta contro l'AIDS, con un cast di attori giovani e di grande talento: Francesco Aricò - Michael, Gabrio Gentilini - Donald, Ettore Nicoletti - Hank, Federico Antonello - Larry, Angelo di Figlia - Emory, Michael Habibi Ndiaye - Bernard, Samuele Cavallo - Alan, Yuri Pascale Langer - Cowboy, Paolo Garghentino - Harold.

  • Traduzione Di Costantino Della Gherardesca Regia Di Giorgio Umberto Bozzo
    Traduzione di Costantino della Gherardesca Regia di Giorgio Umberto Bozzo Prima nazionale Giovedì 13 giugno 2019 SPAZIO TEATRO 89 Via Fratelli Zoia 89 - Milano THE BOYS IN THE BAND è un’opera teatrale del commediografo americano Mart Crowley, andata in scena per la prima volta al Theatre Four di New York il 14 aprile 1968, rimanendo in cartellone per 1.001 repliche sino al 6 settembre 1970. Viene considerata una pietra miliare nella storia del teatro perché è stata la prima commedia a tematica gay scritta per il grande pubblico. Inoltre, al suo debutto, ebbe sorprendente successo e consenso di critica e pubblico. Molti furono i personaggi famosi che non persero l’occasione di vedere in scena i nove ragazzi omosessuali della band di Crowley. Tra questi Marlene Dietrich, Groucho Marx e lo stesso sindaco di New York, John Lindsay. Per capire la portata del successo di The Boys non si dimentichi che stiamo parlando della fine degli anni Sessanta e che il movimento omosessuale americano non avrebbe iniziato faticosamente le proprie battaglie che l’anno successivo, nel 1969, in seguito ai disordini alla Stonewall Inn di New York. In questa pièce Crowley fa un ritratto genuino e schietto di un gruppo di amici omosessuali, analizzando i rapporti interpersonali anche alla luce del disagio determinato dalla pressione sociale. Quella che inizia come una sapida commedia presto si trasforma in un acido gioco al massacro, che obbliga i protagonisti a confrontarsi dolorosamente con le proprie nevrosi, in uno scontro crudo e violento, specchio della difficoltà di accettare sé stessi. Dalla pièce nel 1970 venne realizzato un film con la regia di William Friedkin, uscito nelle sale italiane col titolo Festa per il compleanno del caro amico Harold.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Queering Black Gay Historiography: Performance, (Mis)Identifications, and Possibilities A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Theatre/Performance Studies by Thomas Howard Fitzgerald 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Queering Black Gay Historiography: Performance, (Mis)Identifications, and Possibilities. by Thomas Howard Fitzgerald Doctor of Philosophy in Theatre and Performance Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Sue Ellen Case, Chair This dissertation will examine black gay theatre/ performance in the United States from 1970 to 2010. My intent is to establish a genealogy of black gay performance by situating performance strategies of visibility employed by black gay men in the late 20th century utilizing various performance genres such as revue, theatrical biography, the “event” and history play. Specifically, I am interested that this writing act as a discursive in interrogating the historiography of the tactics of black gay visibility in contrast to and in concert with traditional heterosexual black masculinities where the overall effort was to distinguish a queer black aesthetic separate from the white gay project. My research is necessarily involved with both gay and black performances in this period, since a study of black gay performance practices cannot be pulled away from the black experience in America. Identity politics is the conduit to self- empowerment for black and gay liberation movements, for similar reasons. Accordingly, the project study will concentrate on three areas: (1) social trends and historiography, (2) select black gay performances in this period, and (3) theories of queer and racial identification.

Parte-se de uma breve contextualização e análise dos aspectos pioneiros da obra e de suas adaptações, assim como de suas reavaliações suscitadas pelos acontecimentos históricos circundantes, em especial à Revolta de Stonewall, marco para o Movimento LGBTQI+, ocorrida em 1969. No contexto de análise da recepção do texto original de Crowley, serviram de apoio reflexões de Hans Robert Jauss sobre o horizonte de expectativas dos leitores e aquele suscitado por uma obra literária. Palavras-chave: Teatro; Cinema; Movimento Gay; Adaptação; Horizonte de expectativas. IN LIGHT OF A RIOT: THE PARTY AND AFTER-PARTY OF THE BOYS IN THE BAND Abstract This article analyzes the transformation in the critical reception of the play The Boys in the Band, by playwright Mart Crowley, and of its cinemato- graphic version, focusing on the short period between the launch of the play in 1968 and the film in 1970. It starts with a brief historical contex- tualization and an analysis of the pioneering aspects of the work and its adaptations, as well as its critical reevaluations raised by the weight of the surrounding historical events, in particular the Stonewall riots, an impor- tant milestone for the LGBTQI+ Movement worldwide, which took place in 1969.

  • HOMOSEXUALITY on the SPANISH STAGE: BAROMETER of SOCIAL CHANGE Rutgers University El Público, Federico García Lorca's Daring
    HOMOSEXUALITY ON THE SPANISH STAGE: BAROMETER OF SOCIAL CHANGE PHYLLIS ZA TLIN Rutgers University El público, Federico García Lorca's daring, surrealistic treatment of homosexual lave, was written in 1930 but not published until 1976; it received its world premiere at the Théatre de l'Europe in Milan in December 1986, finally reached the Spanish stage in Ja- nuary 1987, and was reportedly slated for performance in New York the following fall (Sagarra). In January 1988 it was the play chosen by Jorge Lavelli to inaugurate the ThéAtre National de la Colline in Paris. Larca (1898-1936), whose assassination was doubtless promp· ted as much by his sexual preference as by his political views, considered the play temporarily unperformable. He reportedly told bis friend Rafael Martínez Nadal that «in ten or twenty years it will be a great success» (qtd. by Londré 28). His prediction was off by sorne four decades, but he had no way of knowing the extent of sexual repression that was to come under the Franco regime ( 1939- 1975 ). During the long reign of nacionalcatolicismo in Franco Spain, homosexuality was not only prohibited by moral and religious beliefs but also by the legal code. Indeed, the gradual liberalization from the SOs to the 60s to the 70s in sorne aspects of official cen- sorship and repression notwithstanding, a 1970 law actually dealt with homosexuals more harshly than the 1954 law that it replaced (Alonso Tejada 217-24; Anabitarte and Lorenzo 19). In democratic Spain, legal reform carne relatively quicky. Al- -7- ESPAÑA CONTEMPORÁNEA though a divorce law was not approved until 1981 and the 1983 law legalizing abortion was very restrictive, homosexuality had al- ready been decriminalized by 1978.

  • O Filme “Os Rapazes Da Banda”: Um Estudo Sobre Homossexualidades E Masculinidades No Contexto Dos Anos 1970
    O FILME “OS RAPAZES DA BANDA”: UM ESTUDO SOBRE HOMOSSEXUALIDADES E MASCULINIDADES NO CONTEXTO DOS ANOS 1970 Carlos Frederico Bustamante Pontes1 Resumo: O objetivo geral do trabalho é refletir sobre e avaliar em que medida o cinema de temática de gênero e (homo)sexualidades, em particular nos anos de 1970, representou e também contribuiu para a constituição e afirmação do movimento homossexual, inicialmente, bem como para a posterior formação do movimento LGBT. Na pesquisa em questão, observei a importante influência que este cinema pode ter no caminho da desconstrução dos modelos hegemônicos de corporeidade, sexualidade e comportamento de gênero. Para tanto, realizei uma contextualização sócio-histórica e uma análise fílmica do longa-metragem estadunidense “Os Rapazes da Banda” (The Boys in the Band, 1970), que se originou de uma peça de teatro off-Broadway de 1968. Ao observar a contingência social em que o filme foi produzido e exibido, a relação desta com a análise do longa- metragem e o caráter crítico que o mesmo teve naquele período nos EUA e no Brasil, concluo o estudo avaliando que o cinema de temática LGBT pode ser um manancial importante de estudo enquanto elemento de prática social e favorecedor de processos de subjetivação. Palavras-chave: Cinema LGBT. Homossexualidades. Comportamento de gênero. Masculinidades. Introdução “Como um filme mudou a história do movimento LGBT” (COHEN, 2015, tradução minha)2. Este é o título de chamada da matéria da Revista Time, on line, publicada em 17 de maio de 2015, sobre os quarenta e cinco anos do lançamento, nos EUA, do longa-metragem The Boys in the Band (1970).

  • Lavender Notes
    Lavender Notes Improving the lives of LGBTQ older adults through community building, education, and advocacy. Celebrating 25+ years of service and positive change October 2020 - Volume 26 Issue 10 Hosea Turner A long-term volunteer in the Lavender Seniors Friendly Visitors Program – honored at our Silver Anniversary last November – is this month’s featured LGBTQ+ senior. He has spent much of his adult life volunteering with various Bay Area causes – and continues to do so. Hosea Turner, born May 1950 in Cleveland, Ohio, had what he describes as an “amazing” childhood. “I was raised by a foster mother who spoiled me rotten,” Hosea recalls. “I never wanted for anything, since she provided a stable home, a secure living environ-ment, community and much socializing with family and friends. Because my birth mother felt unable to care for me and work at the same time, my foster mother agreed to take care of me temporarily. I never really knew my biological father, although my natural mother told me he held me once when I was an infant.” Subsequently, his birth mother married his stepfather, after which his only brother – four years younger – was born. “The original plan was that my mother and stepfather would come and get me after they were married,” Hosea says, “but child welfare authorities had other ideas. It seems my stepfather had a checkered past, so they were unwilling to let them reclaim me. Fortunately, his mother and my foster mother were friends, so I’ve always remained in contact with my bio-Mom, although I’ve generally called my foster mother ‘Mom’ for most of my life.” His stepfather wound up back in prison for several years, until Hosea was 16.

  • Cultural Hegemony and Self- Repression in the Boys in the Band
    THE STATE AS THE INTRUDER: CULTURAL HEGEMONY AND SELF- REPRESSION IN THE BOYS IN THE BAND Simone Aramu Independent Scholar ABSTRACT When white straight lawyer Alan enters the all-gay birthday party that his long-time acquaintance Michael organized at his place for his friend Harold, he steps into a place where homosexuality is allowed and protected and masculinity parodied. He discovers an heterotopia situated in the city of New York in the late 60’s, out of its norms and far from the police raids against gay people. This article discusses the intrusion of Alan in Michael’s home, in Mart Crowley’s play The Boys in the Band, as an understanding of the dynamics of control and intimidation perpetuated by the State against gay men at that time. It considers the reactions of the gay members of the party, as consequence of the intrusion, under the critical lenses of Michel Foucault’s biopolitical theory together with the concepts concerning hegemonic masculinity from Queer Studies literature. Keywords: Queer Studies, Crowley, Cultural Hegemony, Gay Representation and Power Relations INTRODUCTION he Stonewall Riots were only few months away when Mart Crowley’s The Boys in T the Band was first produced on the New York stage by Richard Barr and Charles Woodward on the 14th of April 1968 at Theatre Four, Off-Broadway, after it was first performed in the January of the same year at the Playwrights’ Unit. Only ten days had passed since the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., but the necessity of advancing human rights had already been fermenting throughout the decade in the United States.

  • RECONSIDERING the PLAYS of ROBERT CHESLEY Rebecca Lynn Gavrila, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: ‘THAT WASN’T JUST A PARTY:’ RECONSIDERING THE PLAYS OF ROBERT CHESLEY Rebecca Lynn Gavrila, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation Directed by: Dr. Faedra Chatard Carpenter School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies “That Wasn’t Just A Party: Reconsidering The Plays of Robert Chesley” is a reclamation project that is placing Robert Chesley as a significant voice of Gay and Sexual Liberation in the Post-Stonewall gay theatrical canon. As the majority of his plays were both unproduced and unpublished, this project serves to introduce a contemporary, mainstream audience to the dramatic writings of Robert Chesley. Chesley is best known for writing the first full-length AIDS play to be produced in the United States, Night Sweats. Unlike his contemporaries, Larry Kramer and William Hoffman, Chesley never saw his work cross-over into the commercial mainstream in part because of his commitment to staging graphic gay sex scenes. Sadly, Robert Chesley would become a victim of the AIDS crisis, dying in 1990. The political and artistic ideologies represented by Chesley’s works are currently under-acknowledged within the gay American theatre canon. By exploring Robert Chesley and the way his work addressed the ideals of Sexual Liberation I am contributing to the discourse of gay cultural criticism and gay theatre history. The current gay theatre canon lacks a figure that represented this political ideology within his theatrical texts. ‘THAT WASN’T JUST A PARTY:’ RECONSIDERING THE PLAYS OF ROBERT CHESLEY By Rebecca Lynn Gavrila Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2014 Advisory Committee: Dr.
