Giorgio Barberio Corsetti
Stage Director
Giorgio Barberio Corsetti established his first company,
La Gaia Scienza, in 1976. 1984 saw the birth of the Compagnia teatrale Giorgio Barberio Corsetti, which in 2001 became known as Fattore K. In his productions, Corsetti uses a broad range of various elements of stage expression and makes frequent use of video graphics. The stage director frequently turns to works by Kafka. He has staged productions of
Beschreibung eines Kampfes, Amerika, Das Schloss and
Der Process, which was awarded the Ubu Prize in 1999. In 1999 Corsetti was appointed Artistic Director of the theatre division of Venice’s biennale. In 2002 Fattore K staged a new project –
Metamorfosi – festival di confine tra teatro e circo, a circus and theatre festival organised with the support of the city of Rome. For many years Corsetti has worked as an opera director. His first opera production was
Maria di Rohan at the Teatro la Fenice (1999). This was followed by the diptych of
La Voix humaine and
Erwartung in Palermo,
La Bohиme in Messina, Tosca in Florence, Bakalov’s Stabat mater in Rome and
Turandot at La Scala. At the Thйвtre du Chвtelet Corsetti has staged Gualtiero Dazzi’s
Le Luthier de Venise (2004), Rossini’s
La pietra del paragone (2007) and
Pop’pea, an interpretation of Monteverdi’s opera
L’incoronazione di Poppea using video materials and elements of pop culture (2012).
