The titular earth spirit, Lulu, is portrayed as a woman created to stir up great disaster, embodying pure sexuality that ...

Di questi tempi è sempre utile sapersi reinventare. Il Torino Fringe Festival, in attesa di tornare a invadere la città di Torino con il suo colorato cartellone di spettacoli dal vivo, si ricicla in un cocktail bar virtuale, il "Fringe Spirit" per l’appunto. E qui ospita artisti e gestori di locali per fare due chiacchiere sorseggiando un drink. E mentre si sorseggia si parla di cultura in questi tempi difficili; si fa il punto; ci si tiene in contatto e si immagina insieme la ripartenza dopo questa lunga sosta forzata. Il tutto condito da due gocce di buon umore e un sorso di allegria.

Jack Benny straddled the two roles for most of his career - the suave, witty master of ceremonies standing on stage in front of a curtain one moment; the put-upon householder tormented by a bumptious servant, eccentric friends, and troublesome neighbors the next.

Lights! Microphone! Action! Hilarious Hollywood spoofs were a beloved feature on many classic Jack Benny radio shows. Regular cast members and guest stars alike were recruited to send up cinema classics like Casablanca, High Noon, and Sunset Boulevard.
