Stravaganze in sol minore

Stravaganze in sol minore by Francesca Lattuada is at Teatro Mina Mezzadri in Brescia.

Two performances:
Tue 20.02 h 11.00
Wed 21.02 h 11.00

The magical virtuosity of Toti Scialoja (1914-1998), a master not only of images but also of words, is at the heart of this new creation for children, young boys and girls signed by the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza/Aterballetto. The protagonists are dancer Vittoria Franchina and baritone Piersilvio De Santis.

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 together.

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.
(Toti Scialoja, La mela di Amleto, 1984)
