Do Not Disturb: Theater in a Hotel Room in Caserta

The play 'Do Not Disturb – Il teatro si fa in albergo' was staged at the Hotel dei Cavalieri in Caserta, Italy, on a Saturday evening in March 2024. The performance, titled 'Check-out: l’amore non ha età,' takes place in actual hotel rooms (526 and 525) with the audience seated inside. The cast includes Ilaria Delli Paoli as Paola, Roberto Solofria as Gennaro, and Antimo Navarra as Armando, who also wrote the text. The production is by Mutamenti/Teatro Civico 14 of Caserta and lasts 45 minutes, divided into three 15-minute acts. The audience moves from the hall to room 526, then to room 525, and back to 526. The dialogue is in Neapolitan dialect. The project originated in 2014 from an idea by Nuovo Teatro Sanità of Naples, created by Mario Gelardi and Claudio Finelli. Mutamenti has adapted it for Caserta since then, with the hotel as a season sponsor. The actors perform in extremely close proximity to the audience, requiring high concentration. The play explores sibling relationships through everyday bickering and affection.
