ROBERT MCNEER

“Dynamic…foolhardy…a mediocre plumber but a very interesting trainer”

This and worse has been said of the cofounder of the innovative cultural center in Southern Italy, “La Luna nel Pozzo.” There with his beautiful wife he runs a summer festival, notorious in some circles, now in its 18th year.

He is also an actor and theatrical author: recent titles are “Superman & Me”, an autobiographical misdemeanor, “I Saw You,” a paranoicomical romp for actor and Revox, and “Pothìlato mon Amour”, a romance for humans and bicycles. He wrote the AudioTheater piece, “L’Ago nel Buio: Visions of Helen Keller.”

Robert is a valued clown and theater facilitator in some circles, including among Danish hospital clowns, European Waldorf educators, and German inclusive work communities.

He has planted 5000 trees on his land in Italy, which will make a lovely living bower for his tomb.

A long and tortured love between his being as an artist and theater has pushed him into the arms where he currently gleans techniques and secrets.

In Italy he worked for the security sectors of Ferrara, Bologna, Lodi and Genoa with “territorial theater projects”, using theatrical and “invisible theatrical” instruments for strengthening the community in moments of social tension.

For his woman of a woman he lives in Puglia, and for his love of theater he collaborates with La Luna nel Pozzo, where he practices the art of the place, as well as his own… serving also as assistant plumber.
