After marriage, the Nona and not only made life impossible for his family, but now also to Francesco, who was in ruins because they had eaten everything I had at the kiosk. Francesco

to work
Analysis Sets:
The set consists of 2 rooms; The first and most important, is the house which we can see the dining room, kitchen and bedroom Chicho, you can also see the clothes lying. It is an environment humble, no frills.
The other is the kiosk environment Don Francesco, in which the characters exchange some dialogue but still is of no relevance to the work.
Lighting varies with mood change.
Costume
Each costume highlights the character's personality: Chicho's lazy, sloppy, etc. and wearing clothes that are messy and not notice much out of the house. Martita
A highlight was much the costumes because their profession was totally worthwhile, and even if they never said the profession, it was left to the imagination of every viewer.
theater People: Roberto "Tito" Porteño
Cossa, son and grandson of immigrants italianos.Su mother had learned and taught guitar, but recently returned to the piano when she was widowed and the children were great. He grew up under the shadow of two paternal uncles, the youngest, René Cossa, became the first Peronist government and Outreach Director of Radio: "He led the parade of actors and stuff ...", Peronist acts recalls. The other uncle, Miguel Cossa, was also an actor and also belonged to the commercial theater, but it was funny: had their day when it was a character in an undertaker to which Juan Carlos Pinocchio Mareco someone asked him and he invariably responded: Blue was. René and Miguel's uncles were those who objected to the aesthetics, politics and ideology. "It is natural that young people rebel against their elders. Epic political theater, the theater of resistance Cuzzani, Kizarraga or Dragun, we replied with Naturalism. We put two characters on stage saying: Hey how you doing and thought it was total revolution. For killing parents and grandparents write! "
In this atmosphere of family tana, Cossa made public elementary school in Villa Park and Sarmiento secondary school. In reality only through the fourth year: "I was thrown for a joke. We had to write an essay for the October 17 was the anniversary of the death of Chopin. And I did, referring to the October 17, all a game between Chopin and Peronism. The music teacher happened to my composition the director, and director he called my father and said he had no choice but to lie down ... "He
year medical course at the loons and the death of his father should begin to work ... in journalism (like the character from Cichorium nona)
Clarin entered in 1956 and, simultaneously, began to do theater with a group of actors: "It could have been an actor," he admits - but I think it worked on me stage fright, the authors are acting cowardly. "
How did The ninth?
premiered in 1977. Because Alexander was actually born five authors cited Romay-Carlos Somigliana, Rozenmacher Germain, Ricardo Talesnik, Ricardo Halak and I, for a book on Channel 9 TV for a unit with the leading cycle of Pepe Soriano, who already had his character Don Berto, a little old Italian. For us we thought it was a woman, the ninth, instead of the ninth ... And I wrote it. He has some tics of my maternal grandfather who lived with us cocoliche and why they have the old people eating all the time ... I wrote in 1970, Channel 13 finally made two years later, I received only a few compliments. The issue came to the play. The premiered in 1977 and is still doing.
Throughout Latin America, Spain, Italy, France, Germany ... Recently released in Turkey.
When the time came he realized he had a successful play and a working group with the playwrights and Carlos Gorostiza Carlos Somigliana, and made no sense to leave the country. After the success of The
nona-that garnered a Molotov at the door of the theater and therefore more popular - was part Cossa Open Theater, a reaction of the authors tired, annoyed by a kind of official ninguneo in theaters, on state television in which drama schools. Twenty-one authors, all at once doing theater at six pm in the dictatorship, was a move equivalent to
rock and Humor magazines and Satyricon. After that, defeat came the Falklands by the 1983 democratic opening, and with it, its greatest activity. Gray had already written of absence (1981) and Tute Cabrero (1981). Then followed Nobody remembers Friedrich Chopin (1982), on the story of the secondary. And the wind carried them away (1983), Hand and foot (1984), The hoodlums (1985), and Yepeto (1987) another big hit made famous by Dario Grandinetti and still is in Spain ... Years passed and Tito Cossa is sticking to his line, between hope and denunciation: Penguins, released in 2001, speaks of the youth of today, he says, of the need to escape from the reality that exposes them to violence, of failure, marginalization.
