Comenius final report

02/05/08 Dear Diary, Today we were at school for the rehearsal of the performance “Trojan women�. Since the Italian and Greek schools had worked differently on the text of Euripides, the teachers decided the students to rehearse separately not to anticipate the surprise of the performance, but we managed to break into the gym all the same, willing to judge the best interpretation. So we realized the two performances were very different: the costumes of our Greek friends were simple and traditional, ours classical and elegant; their interpretation was full of music and songs, elements missing in ours. At first we thought we were better, but we soon changed our mind, because their interpretation was very expressive and exceeded the limits of words. Just before the bell ring, the Greek girls tried modern and traditional dances that the Italian boys appreciated so much because they were quite sensual. At the end of the rehearsal, we had just to wait for the following day, the great moment of the performance!
