The Da Vinci Code… Ferrara’s style
Last Friday a very special premiere took place in Ferrara: the new TAP Creation’s “movie”.
TAP guys (and girls) start from a blockbuster movie, use a good part of its video footage and add brand new dialogs in Ferrara local dialect. Italian dialects can be quite different from main Italian language, and the result is always an hilarious and scoffing sort of parody of the original movie.
This last work is “Il Codice Gratta e Vinci” (The Instant Win Code), a pun in Italian of “Il Codice Da Vinci” (The Da Vinci Code). You can enjoy the trailer:
Just a single show was scheduled, but the public attendance was so huge that tickets sold out in minutes and a second and even a third show were scheduled in a hurry, with the performance going on well beyond midnight.
As a result I haven’t been able to see the movie yet (some in our party had to wake up early the following day), but I’m surely looking forward to it!
