ContestaRockHair Happy Hours in NYC are glad to present an extract from \u201cHorse Head\u201d, a play by Damon Lockwood awarded at Rome Fringe festival 2012 and presented this time by the Italian Cultural Association \u201c Cattive Compagnie\u201d (Bad Influence)
\nThe piece is set into our project called Teather off the teather”: shows performance and exhibition in our salons to bring art into the everyday life.
\n\u201cHorse Head\u201d will be staged at the Connelly Theatre on August 10, with four replicates until August 25 and it is a spin- off from “The Godfather”,one of Francis Ford Coppola\u2019s masterpiece .
\nThe plot concerns about two fictional characters from this movie.
\nAs we all remember in the movie, an award-winning racehorse is beheaded while his head is left during the night in the bed of his owner, a successful Hollywood director guilty of refusing an ‘offer of Don Corleone.
\nHave you ever thought about the two \u201cpicciotti\u201d \u2013 Italian slang for henchmen often used by Mafia- who had the mission of doing it?
\nHorse Head is the tragicomic story of them:
\nEdmund – a failed actor who is losing self-esteem \u2013
\nAnd his brother Philip -a tormented picciotto whose name means effectively \u201c lover of horses\u201d.
\ndecided to accept Don Corleone\u2019s offer to guarantee themselves a rich life and a way through the underworld.<\/p>\n
\u201cHorse Head\u201d is a 60 minute one-act comedy and it shows the evolution of two characters who, in order to accomplish this risky and infamous task, will be forced to face their own demons.
