/ New performance for families with a dancer and a singer /
The magical virtuosity of Toti Scialoja (1914-1998), a master not only of images but also of words, is the basis of this new creation for boys and girls, boys and girls signed by the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto.
The almost magical vibrations that spring from Scialoja’s poems are like the infinite rings that are created at the surface of the water when a stone is thrown: evocative of unreal or hyperreal images, bearers of a musicality that mixes poetry and nursery rhyme, they make the extraordinary and the frightening go hand in hand.
Sotto un cespo di rose scarlatte
Offre il rospo tè caldo con latte
Sotto un cespo di rose paonazze
Tocca al rospo sciacquare le tazze.
