Gisa Geert

Gisa Geert, stage name of Margarita Gross (Vienna, 7 June 1900 – Madrid, 2 April 1991), was an Austrian actress and choreographer, who was very active in Italy from the 1940s to the 1960s.

At the turn of the Second World War she had choreographed many performances of the revue theatre, working among others with companies and Totò and Erminio Macario, before moving to the more modern musical comedy and vaudeville Garinei e Giovanni.

On that occasion, one of the choreographic pictures involved were chess pieces with living pawns, or with the dancers depicting the capital in a play against labour; in the end there were illuminated fountains with squirted jets of water up to five metres high.
