Enrico Clarelli
Born in Naples, he spent his entire youth in Florence, Italy.
Theatrical training in Florence at the «Laboratorio 9». Since its focus is on the dramaturgy of the actor/author, it allowed him to discover the symbolic language and its incredible extensions in the artistic field, as well as the support of individuals to improve their self-image. In France, theatrical training with Anne Sicco (The Theatre of the Eye of Silence).
For more than 10 years, he has been working on collecting life stories in sensitive neighborhoods as an actor and author within the Gouttes d’Eau Company of Jean-Marie Arnal (a student of Jacques Lecoq). This 25-year journey has led him to work on stories as a starting point for rewriting his own life story and to become an actor of his own journey.
It isActor with the Compagnie de L’Arche de Noé by Guillaume Lagnel, work on the mask and ritual.
Starting in 1997, the Compagnie de l’Échappée Belle was created with Martine Costes-Souyris, drawing on rural memory and the work of authors, with performances and readings in the villages.
After a stint in street theater with the Cie l’Oboubambulle, which introduced him to the immediate and direct relationship with the public, he enthusiastically embarked on the activity of storyteller, a thread that runs through his entire career.
Since 2000, he has continued his theatrical work, but in parallel, he has been involved in integration projects through writing, theater and video workshops.
Today, the axes of his work are: storytelling to share the symbolic language, writing as the central place of the narrative, video to tell the real and to work on image.
