Paul Levy talks to Tom Corradini about Gran Consiglio (Mussolini). Influenced by Philippe Gaulier, award-winning performer and theatre-maker, Tom Corradini describes the process of stepping onto the skin of Il Duce himself – Benito Mussolini. “July 24, 1943. Rome. The Grand Council of Fascism meets to discuss the deposition of Benito Mussolini. The Duce waits in his study where he recalls how destiny drove him from humble origins to becoming the supreme leader of Italy and how much of his sanity he lost on this formidable journey. The portrayal of a complex man who thought of himself as a genius and ended up being a clown in the eyes of the world.”
