TESTO E FOTO DI CESARE ZUCCA –
Devo confessare che ho scoperto la cucina di Domenico Candela molti mesi fa. Era una bellissima serata di fine maggio, sulla terrazza del ristorante George, un’ incantevole finestra che si apre sul Golfo di Napoli e sul magico Vesuvio.
L’incanto è continuato a tavola. Dai primi bocconi mente e palato hanno preso il volo…e ho sentenziato: “Tutto questo merita una stella Michelin, quasi quasi aspetto a scrivere il mio pezzo…”
Beh, avevo ragione: in Novembre la stella è arrivata, coronando il talento e l’impegno di Domenico, della sua cucina e di tutto il suo meraviglioso staff, dove lo Chef sfoggia tecnica, sperimentazione e sapiente fusione di sapori, con grande rispetto alla tradizione e amore per la sua terra, come il suo ‘omaggio a Napoli’ con crema di cipolla bruciata, yogurt greco e crema di menta, dalle candele ‘alla genovese‘ di coniglio ischitano, al San Pietro marinato con alghe combu, carote di Polignano e limone di Sorrento, al piatto ‘iberico’: baccalà delle isole Far Oer, 
cotto dolcemente in olio al limone, risone Di Nola, chorizo e piquillos, zabaione di pesce allo zafferano, alle verdure di contorno che provengono da Sarno, alle zucchine alla scapece, una tipica marinatura con spezie, erbe, aglio e scalogno, ai pastifici Dei Campi e Gerardo di Nola, allo spaghettone di Gragnano, in perfetto connubio con i pomodorini campani.
Parlami del George
George è un progetto nato circa un anno fa. Arrivavo da quattro anni in Francia e tante convivenze con maestri italiani. Qui trovi un po’ un riassunto delle mie esperienze di vita e di ristorazione, ricerca e contaminazione con gli Chef che ho affiancat, da Antonio Guida del Pellicano, a Stefano Mazzoni del Quisisana, a altri teriitori, come le Langhe, senza tuttavia dimenticare le mie origini campane.
Quanto tempo prima studi il menu?
Circa due mesi, tenendo conto della stagionalità e del contesto internazionale della clientela, visto che siamo al Parker’s un hotel cinque stelle lusso, quindi clientela internazionale e piuttosto esigente, attenta alla gastronomia campana ma anche aperta a nuovi percorsi.
E’ un menu che presenta primi tradizionali, come lo spaghetto al pomodoro, la famosa genovese, coniglio, baccalà, ma che ama viaggiare in altre regioni come la bagacauda o il tipico bagnetto verde piemontese.
Parliamo di viaggi?
Mi piace viaggiare sia per ricerche gastronomiche sia per piacere personale. Sono stato in Chile, in Perù. L’ultimo viaggio è stato in Giappone, a Tokyo, Yokohama e Kyoto, che mi ha colpito molto e dove mi piacerebbe fare uno stage di pura cucina giapponese, vorrei conoscerne meglio la tradizione. gli apparati, le tecniche.
Quando hai del tempo libero dove vai per il weekend
Sono libero solo la domenica, mi piace passarla in casa , in familia, rilassarmi, staccare la mente e perchè no ?… cucinare qualche piatto semplice che mi ricollega alla tradizione campana.
Cosa sognavi di fare da grande?
Di certo non lo chef (ride)… piuttosto sognavo di fare il calciatore, ero bravino…
Il primo ricordo in cucina?
Forse è banale, ma mi è rimasto nel naso il profumo del pane che nonna faceva nel forno in cortile .Ah, poi l’ insostituibile parmigiana di melanzane di mia mamma. La migliore del mondo!
Veniamo alla tua meravigliosa ricetta… qual è il segreto?
L’equilibrio è il segreto del gusto di questo particolare piatto, bilanciato nella grassezza del pesce fresco, reso anche amaro dalla cottura alla brace, con la dolcezza della zucchina, un prodotto speciale preso dalla tradizione ortolana napoletana.
A queste punte sensoriali si aggiunge la sensazione di freschezza frutto dello iodio e la sapidità dell’ostrica raccolta nei ravioli di daikon che impreziosiscono e completano la ricetta, l’aglio nero con i suoi sentori di liquirizia e le proprietà antiossidanti regala un quid di benessere e una nota aspra e dolce all’assaggio.

The troupe founded by choreographer Philippe Lafeuille is known for self-irony and the art of mocking but also for the seriousness with which he carries on his belief: the love of dance above all things.
Tango originated in Argentina in the late 1800s, invented by the creativity of the first immigrants, especially Italian and French, who sought an escape from hard daily life, to take refuge in music and dance. A new music, almost a fusion of European, American and black rhythms and sounds, but above all a new, bold and transgressive dance.
Tango Fatal is an international tango company directed by Guillermo Berzins, a world-famous Argentine dancer and choreographer, who will involve us in the show Tango y Amor, together with his sensual dancer with great technical and interpretative ability of Marijana Tanasković.

Do you remember Federico? fA rich proposal that wants to celebrate not only the director but also the man who talks about himself without masks. To this end, the festival offers its most famous and exclusive documentaries in which Fellini tells about himself and his poetics, capable of revolutionizing Italian cinema and making it famous internationally.

On the stage they put into play all their ability to have fun and have fun, but the result is unexpected. The rough Ale is a moving Juliet, as tender and naive as you’d expect from a young girl while the handsome Romeo, Franz is impetuous as expected from his character as a young lover.
I have the feeling that most of the audience. as fans of the comic duo, got pretty disappointed to see their fav comedians acting like Shakespearean actors or at least Shakespeare amateurs. The laughs were few and anxiously expected.
Lou Andreas-Salomé is such a relevant figure in the world of philosophy and feminism. Finally her life life is brought to the screen in this German film directed by Cordula Kablitz-Post. 
A boldly unconventional woman gets a crushingly conventional biopic with “Lou Andreas-Salomé, The Audacity to Be Free.” Such a heavy-handed title fits the film perfectly, far more than the original English-language handle, “In Love With Lou,” which confusingly made the movie sound like a sitcom. In her feature debut, director and co-writer

First time I saw Blue Man Group was back in the 80′ in a Small theatre in Lafayette Street in New York.
Finally the 3 blue guys will be performing in Italy !
A typical Blue Man Group show starts with a Blue Man hanging out in the theater lobby as audiences arrive. He is completely bald, completely blue and dressed in black. Ask for an autograph and he will rub his hand across a program to create a blue smudge.
Try to take a picture and he will look at cell phones and cameras with curious wonder. In the theater, the show begins with clanging and flashing lights. The Blue Men create bizarre instruments with their signature plastic tubing. 
They drum amongst themselves and possibly with a band or other backing music. They throw marshmallows into each other’s mouths with alarming accuracy and in logic-defying numbers. A classic Blue Man bit brings an audience member to the stage for an elegant Twinkie dinner with the Blue Men, culminating in hilarious disaster.
At the end of the show, the audience participates in an elaborate toilet paper-throwing ritual. 
All the while, the innocent and childlike Blue Men never break character.
Take note that the first five rows are the “poncho section” — prime placement for those eager to get in on the action and possibly an errant splash of blue paint, too.
1987, known worldwide for its various stage productions which typically incorporate many different categories of music and art, both popular and obscure, in their performances.

UN SUGGERIMENTO AL PUBBLICO ITALIANO ….
The story follows the highly famous and incredibly successful pianist, Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali), who takes great risks as an African American man touring through the highly racial deep south. Tony Lip (a spectacular Viggo Mortensen) a bouncer from an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx, who is hired to drive the musician on a concert tour from Manhattan to the Deep South. 
They must rely on “The Green Book” to guide them to the few establishments that were then safe for African-Americans. As the tour progresses, the audience goes through many parts of the south where not only racism was prevalent against African Americans and Italians, but also acknowledge the severe homophobia that existed so terribly in the 1960s. A real story that shows the journey of Tony and Don. Confronted with racism, danger-as well as unexpected humanity and humor-they are forced to set aside differences to survive and thrive on the journey of a lifetime. One white and one black met at the apartheid society. At the beginning, they didn’t understand each other and came up a lot of conflict. After a period of time, they started to help each other and Tony always stood up for Don .They turned to be friend or even more than that. I loved the direction, the cinematography , the music, the editing and the excellent performances,.

Open scenario, a doll store with a vintage feeling , on stage the Nina’s Drag Queens Company, in a quite intense musical play conceived by Francesco Micheli, renewed and re-written by the British playwright Claire Dowie and the Italian composer Enrico Melozzi.
Queen LeaR deals with some uncomfortable themes of our time, such as old age, illness and death, on the background of a generation with a hard legacy on his back, a generation of children who may never be fathers. Drag queens act, sing, dance, make people laugh and cry, live and stir strong emotions: for this reason a drag queen is the perfect key to translate Shakespeare in a present-day form, innovating it through a contemporary, eclectic and excessive mask. Queen LeaR is also built on the idea of mixing together different kinds of show. The ambition is to put on stage a form of entertainment at the same time popular and high, which takes its strength from the use of pastiche and the break of genres boundaries.
Aladdin’s Lamp is placed in the very rich collection of fairy tales by the legendary Compagnia Carlo Colla & Figli where, alongside the titles of the repertoire as Cinderella and Puss in Boots, among the new creations. It was in fact expressly written in 1993 by Eugenio Monti Colla, who in the following year also directed him for his debut at the Spoleto Festival. The show, proposed in Milan in ’94 / ’95, was subsequently on tour, among other things, in Cremona, Rome, Puglia and the Macerata Opera Festival, always welcomed with great warmth by the public.
Also in this case the “numbers” affect: the marionettes are two hundred, including protagonists, supporting actors, extras and animals; the animators are twelve of which two employees to move only the genius, a singular creature two meters long with the head, the bust and the arms of papier-mâché and the rest of the body made of silk and organza; the paintings of the show are thirteen plus the prologue and correspond to the same number of scenes, partly realized ex novo and partly coming from old
