THE CARTOON BARBER
"The Barber of Seville" told through music, images, animations and text
The comic barber was born from a musical idea: the suite of Vincenzo Gambaro on the music of the Opera by Rossini , arranged for wind orchestra. To this musical version Giambattista Giocoli he decided to complement the intricate story of Rosina , through the unpublished drawings of the Japanese mangaka Tsukishiro Yūko . Two apparently distant languages, united however by the story and the expressiveness.
The lyric plunges into the contemporaneity of Japanese comics, the immediacy of visual art intertwines with the sound, returning a new and original version of the work that knows how to speak even to a young and contemporary audience.
