Gaspare Nasuto started his activity in 1989; as a puppeteer and sculptor, he is considered one of the Masters of the Neapolitan puppet tradition, a true tipping point for whoever wants to approach the secrets of the Neapolitan “Guarattelle”. The “Guarattelle” are an ancient kind of hand puppet created in Naples around the 16th century. The peculiarity of the show is the voice of Pulcinella, achieved with the swazzle, an instrument hold by the puppeteer under his palate during the show. The striking and exclusive movement technique of the puppets and its powerful performance give the show a strong modernity. An unique opportunity to all who want to learn the secrets of the Neapolitan “Guarattelle”.
