Collective production of the Bismantova Theater, Parpignol Theater and Compagnia Circolabile 6 December, 8.30 pm PLATO theater circus show by Andrea Menozzi , Francesco Marchesi and Christel dicembre An attic, an unstable light, objects piled up and assembled, improbable mechanisms, a man, Plato . Plato seems to have always lived alone in this universe, where his inventions shape his daily life and his relationships. Like everyone, he has built his own routine, his duties and obligations, his pastimes, his relationships, his alter ego. It moves and evolves in this reality, where it creates daily life energy and where each object becomes part of a vital ritual. Reality is made up of things we know and the idea we build of them. But what if Plato discovers the outside world and humans? This theatrical performance intertwines mime and circus arts to offer a poetic and amusing transposition of the allegory of the cave , a myth presented by Plato in Book VII of the Republic . Indeed "Plato" he takes up with humor and sensitivity the beacon theme of the allegory, the perception of reality and its transmission. Andrea Menozzi , the only actor on stage, reinterprets every object, every movement, in order to convey Plato's reality to the public. "Plato" was born from the collaboration between the Bismantova Theater , the Parpignol Theater and the Compagnia Circolabile , and from the study of two texts: in addition to " La Repubblica " by Plato, also " The Invisible Cities " by Italo Calvino. How the Great Khan built in his imagination the cities that Marco Polo described to him, Plato he composes with his fantasy, his out of phase universe, to offer it to the incredulous eyes of the public. ​ with Andrea Menozzi ​ Ticket 12 € Buy tickets

Foyer Teatro del Baraccano Teatro del Baraccano Teatro del Baraccano Foyer Teatro del Baraccano 1/17

Il programma proposto questa sera è frutto di scelte che hanno a che fare con vari momenti della mia vita personale, momenti che hanno generato curiosità profonde legate agli stati d’animo che ciascuno dei brani mi sembra esplorare. L’apertura della serata, con la sonata di Brahms, offre lo spazio giusto per cercare nel dialogo col violino un momento di speranza e freschezza. La delicatezza delle melodie, la scrittura cameristica equilibrata e il territorio tonale del brano mi sembrano una continuazione organica del lascito beethoveniano. Come spesso accade coi grandi compositori romantici tedeschi, consciamente o inconsciamente iniziano dal punto estremo lasciato da Beethoven in ogni genere. Questo è accaduto con le sinfonie, i quartetti, le sonate e in questo caso le sonate per violino e pianoforte. ​ La prima sonata di Brahms mi sembra scritta sulla scia dell’ultima sonata per violino di Beethoven, anche questa in sol maggiore. Se nelle grandi sonate che ho avuto modo di suonare con Mayumi (Kreutzer, Frank, Strauss) i due strumenti sono spesso in una posizione di grandiosa ed epica lotta, Brahms in questo brano mette in luce diverse possibilità di dialogo, creando un’interazione più intima e dai toni più calmi. Intimità che lega il brano anche ai gioielli nascosti di Schumann, gli Albumblätter, dove in poche battute si dipingono con grande poesia stati d’animo contrastanti e profondamente umani. I Pezzi di fantasia op.12 sono brani che ho imparato al mio ritorno da un viaggio in India lo scorso anno. Posso sinceramente confermare che lo stereotipo del viaggio spirituale in India che cambia la vita è fortemente giustificato. Ricordo ancora il senso di meraviglia che ho provato quando dopo quasi un mese di silenzio dalla Musica, ho suonato le prime note di Des Abends al mio rientro a Berlino. Non scorderò mai quel momento di meraviglia e incredulità, il suono del pianoforte mi sembrava essere troppo bello per essere vero ed è quella stessa sensazione che vorrei regalare al pubblico. Gli altri brani dell’opera 12 sono momenti di grande instabilità emotiva, che oscillano tra il sogno, la disperazione, gli slanci, le passioni tipiche di Schumann, squilibri in cui si riflette molto la mia natura, con improvvisi squarci su mondi estremamente lontani... gli stessi mondi metafisici di cui a volte, per pochi millesimi di secondi, mi è sembrato di percepire l’odore in India. La parentesi su Ligeti è una transizione sul Novecento e un omaggio ad un compositore, nel centenario dalla nascita, che è già diventato un classico. La Musica Ricercata sembra una risposta divertita alla dodecafonia, dove il criterio compositivo (ogni brano costruito su una, due, tre, quattro etc. note) diventa motivo di sperimentazione pura. Il concerto, o almeno il programma stabilito, si conclude con la festosa Venezia e Napoli di Liszt, compositore e uomo che considero tra i più interessanti nel mondo musicale. Frutto di viaggi e "pellegrinaggi" in giro per l’Europa, raccoglie le canzoni popolari del tempo a Venezia (La biondina in gondoleta, nel dialetto veneto) e Napoli (Tarantella e Fenesta vascia, canzone d’amore napoletana) trasformandole in uno spettacolo per le orecchie di altissima classe pianistica. Anche questo brano ha tanto valore personale, studiarlo è stato un consiglio del mio mentore S. Gadjiev: egli mi ha spinto a cercare attraverso Venezia e Napoli una riconnessione alle mie origini siciliane dopo anni (16, la metà della mia vita tra pochi giorni, il 27 agosto) di peregrinaggi nel mondo, odissee necessarie per studiare e apprendere da tante culture diverse. La Musica è sempre stata per me un modo di comunicare le verità dell’anima. Non sempre ci si riesce, ma questa meta all’orizzonte è sempre rimasta ben visibile e qualche volta sembra quasi di raggiungerla.

February 14, 9 pm I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU is a range of “amorous” situations recited, sung and played by two pairs of artists, in a fun succession of sketches. Artists who they will go up on stage to interpret, in a musical version, some of the typical situations of the couple's life in an ironic and sarcastic key. Unrepentant singles in search of a soul mate, women who complain of a shortage of attractive bachelors, a couple who have decided to break up but don't know how to tell their parents, another who goes from enthusiasm for married life to desperate attempts to revive the passion stifled by domestic life. If you can find the romantic side of this show and even laugh at the love tragedies then your love will be infallible ... or almost! The show won first prize in the "Musical Theater" category at the Festival of Arts (ed. 2009). ​ directed by Luca Sebastiano Scelfo with Alessandro Calonaci, Sara D'Angelo, Alessia Gardini, Luca Sebastiano Scelfo at the piano Francesco Ricci Ticket 12 € (full), 10 € (reduced) Buy tickets
