Dusio d'oro Theater Show – Bonet and marmelade con nonna Liz

An evening of popular theater in Rocca d'Arazzo

In the village of Rocca d'Arazzo, located in the province of Asti in the heart of the Piedmontese Monferrato, the Gruppo Artistico il Dusio d'oro presents the comedy "Bonet and marmelade con nonna Liz". The show takes place outdoors in Piazza Marconi, transforming the town center into an open-air stage: a simple, festive format typical of local amateur theater that brings residents and visitors together for an evening of laughter under the Piedmont sky.

The show and its characters

Written and directed by Margherita Amerio, who also stars as Gianduja, the historic mask of Piedmontese comedy. Joining her on stage are Giorgio Gallo, playing the role of Chef Ardito, and Anna Gibello, as a local vendor. As the title suggests, the show plays with local culinary traditions: bonet, the famous Piedmontese cocoa and amaretto dessert, along with jam and the affectionate character of Grandma Liz, serve as the thread for a lighthearted, comic story designed to bring a smile to audiences of all ages.

The Dusio d'oro and Asti's amateur theater

The Gruppo Artistico il Dusio d'oro is an amateur theater company active in the Asti area, known for staging comedies often rooted in Piedmontese culture and dialect. The same show was successfully presented a few months earlier in Castell'Alfero during Carnival celebrations before arriving in the square of Rocca d'Arazzo. Technical support for lighting and sound is provided by the "Rete" del Teatro Amatoriale, a testament to the vibrant network of companies and volunteers that bring life to the small towns of the province.

A date with the traditions of Monferrato

Events like this are a precious piece of the cultural life in the villages of the Asti Monferrato: dialect and popular theater, masks like Gianduja, and references to local gastronomic specialties keep Piedmontese traditions alive, offering opportunities for socializing and celebration. An evening designed for families and enthusiasts, where straightforward comedy and village conviviality blend with the taste of fine Piedmontese cuisine.
