Celebrating I GIULLARI DI PIAZZA 40th Anniversary and home base at New York University   honoring Prof. Stefano Albertini and Kostja Kovic   A Neapolitan Renaissance Christmas show - Based on the Traditional Southern Italian Play Written by Andrea Perrucci in the 17th century and still performed annually in the environs of Naples.   Written and directed by Alessandra Belloni, music composed and arranged   by John La Barbera Told by masked character of Commedia dell”Arte, narrated in English by LA BEFANA (the Good Witch of Christmas) featuring  the Italian Bagpipe.  The concert will feature the southern Italian traditional Christmas music of the show, narrated by la Befana . The story of the play is set just before the birth Christ, during Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem, and the devil has dispatched his demons to stop the Savior's birth. Their escapades are entwined with those of Razzullo, one of the Pulcinella masks here depicted as a comic, mischievous Neapolitan scribe to is always hungry.   Conjuring up tempests, dragons and other unseemly tricks, the demons try to do away with the play's characters, but all are under the Angel Gabriel's protection and the holy couple finally reaches Bethlehem. Before good triumphs over evil, there is an incredible clash, in dance between the archangel and the devil and a grotesque, but humorous, depiction of heaven and hell.
