«Stories of the sea and small lands», an unprecedented show for the protection of the planet

Music, art and theater come together in a special appeal for the protection of the environment. Stories of the Sea and Small Lands is a surreal and ecological fairy tale, an unpublished theatrical show. For the first time, live streaming on LIVENow, directly from Auditorium Theater of Trento, Sunday 23 May at 8pm.

With the aim of highlighting the urgency and need for greater attention to safeguarding our planet, the show combines three different artistic components: a narrative component, entrusted to Dario Vergassola, a musical one, entrusted to the compositions of Isabella Turso, Maurizio Dini Ciacci and Michele Tadini, with the artistic participation of the rapper Dargen D‘Friend and the enchantress Marquica, and a visual created by the Oscar winner Luc Jacquet.

Produced from S. Chiara Cultural Services Center, in collaboration with the MUSE, Science Museum, Stories of the sea and small lands is an ambitious and extremely current project of Maurizio Dini Ciacci, – conductor, pianist, composer and innovator of Trentino origins – who is also the music director.

Narrated by Dario Vergassola, which will unfold the show in six different stories, the show will be surrounded by musical suggestions: the songs of Dargen D’Amico and of Marquica will intertwine with the acoustic and electronic melodies of the Fresh Fish Ensemble – directed by the same Maurizio Dini Ciacci -, by the pianist / composer Isabella Turso and gods Live Electronics by Michele Tadini. Entrusted to Luc Jacquet, winner of the Oscar for the film “March of the Penguins”, the direction will give a strong visual impact to the show. Isabella Turso and Dargen D’Amico are finally back on stage together, revisiting some songs from the Variations album with brand new arrangements.

The narration, entrusted to Vergassola, unfolds with metaphorical lightness through six fairy tales that have as a pretext stories of fish, even talking, inhabitants of an increasingly polluted and less and less welcoming sea. Pisces who are desperately trying to make themselves heard by humans who are unwilling to listen and consider the problems of an increasingly risky environment. “We must dispel the saying” silent as a fish “”, says the author, “In reality it is we humans who do not listen to them, just as we do not listen to the appeals and signals that nature sends us”.

The pandemic? «It was stronger than any bomb», he continues, «to lock us in the house in the end it was a virus. Nature has benefited a little. The wild boars have arrived in the city, the sea is a little repopulated. But it will not serve us as a teaching, we do not realize how much harm we do to the planet ».
