Autorenporträt
Michael Pedretti is currently over halfway through writing a twelve volume epic called "The Story of Our Stories" which tells the journey of an archetypical American family starting from the Mitochondrial Eve right through the next generation with a focus on the last families to live in Europe and the first families to settle in small town America in the second half of the nineteenth century. Begetters of Children is volume III of that series. Pedretti has directed over 100 theater productions and presented/produced over 170 shows from 30 countries. He founded Movement Theatre International in 1979 and served as its Artistic Director for over 20 years. He recently completed a two-volume book covering the work of the originating performance artists whose work was presented at the international theater festivals he produced and who challenged the theater world in the later part of the twentieth century. He has also written a book of poems titled the dog and i: twenty-seven poems.
