A+ MAZING. ITALY + PRISON = MAGICAL THEATER
“Miming holding a skull in his hand, Antonino Mammino said that when he acts the part of Hamlet, as he does in this show, he feels like the character. During the day he is a sanitation worker, cleaning toilets, and in the evenings he rehearses his part and sleeps in the prison. (The prison and inmates declined to give information about what crimes the prisoners committed and the length of their sentences.) Once he has served his time, he said he wants his identity documents to list his profession as ‘actor.’ ‘Theater gets into your blood, and then you can’t do without it,’ he said.”
