Carlo Gozzi (1720–1806) became famous as a writer, as well as his brother Gasparo (1713–1786).
Carlo Gozzi wrote his own version fifty years later, a stage play in which she was a “tigerish woman” of “unrelenting pride.” Friedrich Schiller translated and adapted the play into German as Turandot, Prinzessin von China in 1801.
The Weber themes are taken from incidental music Weber wrote for a play by Carlo Gozzi based on the same Turandot legend that later inspired Giacomo Puccini and others.
The group was started in 2003 and has produced the following original works: Toy Chest, The Strange Dreams of Nobody in Particular, The Serpent Woman (adapted from Carlo Gozzi's original), Slide, Ragnarok, Sinister Puppetmen of the Fabrication Gallery, Dreadful Penny’s Midnight Cavalcade of Ghoulish Delights, Evildoer, and Xeros.
In his introduction, Polti claims to be continuing the work of Carlo Gozzi, who also identified 36 situations.
His most notable production was Turandot by Carlo Gozzi, which has played at the Vakhtangov Theatre ever since 1922 (the year of his death).
