La Bruscellata
The bruscellata originated from the popular Tuscan farse “Il Bruscello”
which was performed in the spring by an all-male company,
with an “arboscello” (shrubbery) in hand: (ar) buscello, a branch and
twig crossed, brusco from the Latin “Knot of wood”. The bruscello
(know as Segavecchia in the areas of Siena and Arezzo, Zingaresca
in the regions around Lucca to the lower Arno river valley) is performed
with costumes that have no precise historical reference, but are
mos t imaginative, and which are rented from small theatrical wardrobes,
often embellished by the actors themselves.
