Norman performs dramatic extracts from his unpublished new novel, 'Cazzarola!' at the Montreal's 3rd international Anarchist Theatre Festival 2008, Tues May 13-14. 'Cazzarola!' is performed on one night only - May 13, at 7:30pm at the D.B. Clarke Theatre, Concordia University, 1455 de Maisonneuve West. Norman plays four characters in this short, moving dramatization that deals with the current Italian backlash against immigration (targetting specifically the Roma), globalization, an anarchist assassination attempt on Mussolini, and Italy's newest suit and tie fascism. A recent book tour of Italy (with a new translation of his short story collection, 'The Anarchist & The Devil Do Cabaret') inspired the new work. Montreal Anarchist Theatre Festival 2008 The third annual international 'Montréal Anarchist Theatre Festival' takes place Wed May 14 / 7:30pm
Nawrocki calls it 'his most amazing tour - ever!', recently performing 9 shows in 11 days in 6 cities across Italy to promote the new Italian translation of his book: 'L'Anarchico e il Diavolo fanno cabaret.'
The incredibly hospitable folks at the Rome based publisher, Editrice Il Sirente, and all their friends, family and associates, gave him the best food, wine, support and friendship imaginable.
Nawrocki, accompanying himself on looped and sampled violin, performed excerpts from the book for appreciative new fans across Italy. A short documentary film about the tour will be released soon.
Tour highlights: the beautiful, mountain-top university town of L'Aquila, where Nawrocki played with a local, old-time, triple accordion, folklore music group;
a gracious reception at the anarchist institute, 'Camillo Di Sciullo,' in Chieti; his Rome debut in the chic, radical bookstore, 'Libraria Bibli;' inaugurating the newly opened Modena Anarchist Info Shop; playing to a packed ultra-cool bookshop, 'Modo Info Shop,' in Bologna; having the official book launch at the prestigious Rome Book Fair in the colossal 'Palazzo del Congressi;'
a live improv performance with Rome's celebrated 'noise band,' Obsolescenza Programmata, in Napoli's hippest bookstore/bar/record shop, 'Perditempo.'
Nawrocki is currently working on a book inspired by his great Italian adventure: 'Catzarolla!' - about Italy yesterday & today, the Roma, Romanians and Rome.
