Clouds Baroque and Damian
December 10, 2009 Beer wine, coffee tables and cigarette smoke.
Outside the theater railing a billboard with the programming.
People gathered in the evening clouds they talk about the event that for many is not '"Baroque Clouds" but the post representation: Damian will make' a mini-concert tribute to De Andre '.
"Damian?, That Damian?"
Yes, that Damian, to XFactor ... that "the Moors", what he did release a disc with one of his new songs: Soul.
To Damian and 'a return to the past: the theater and' a stone's throw from the house and 'lived in the neighborhood that has seen the child on that theater has done to his essay medium of music.
Suddenly a gust of wind as the clouds move and gathering.
Pictures, words, hugs, kisses, dedications: and 'come easy, tousled, almost absent and not' changed.
Minutes pass, and many are wondering what's the need to see a show before you can feel, think back a few more 'later, then the doors open, it takes place.
"Baroque Clouds"
written and directed by Gabriele Di Luca Setti Maximilian
and Luke Stano, with Gabriele Di Luca Setti Maximilian,
Luke Stano, Elisa Marinoni.
"1979: Summer of large seizures. In the anarchist scene are Nico, Joe the alcoholic, the marginalized Pier, three punks and thugs stragglers, looking for the shot that changed his life. Closed in a squalid basement of any metropolitan suburbs, plan the kidnapping of a child, there pointing the wrong card for a possible ransom, but end up only to implode in a fierce game three of the massacre, and to clear every hope of the future. The disillusionment, the relationship with their children, the friendship turned into something else and now the loss of their innocence, are themes that dominate the dialogue. Almost a noir, historical background of the violent '70s, of rampant and just before the 80 obtuse. It's true eco allusive of the seizure, in 1979, Dori Ghezzi and Fabrizio De André, unforgettable musician and poet, author self-titled album which has taken the title of the show. And as the swollen clouds threatening to be torn in the rain, so explode the souls of Nico, Joe and Pier, losers in life and lost within himself. "(From the airline's website http://www.carrozzeriaorfeo.it/ )
Intense linearly complicated, ironic, dramatic, since perfect.
Figure De Andre ', which echoes without invading, characters (according to the authors themselves) that refer to the "poetry" of the master: the anarchist, the sick, the outcast, the slut.
A night on the central monologue full of meaning and beauty, where there is' only voice but also body and soul.
Until you reach the epilogue where, as he said smiling Dori Ghezzi, who was present at the show, "listen to Gibbons 'not good'.
Audience speechless and breathless, beautiful and unexpected surprise of a theater alive, intense and "new" despite all the difficulties. '
Pause.
The clouds still gather outside to talk, drink, discuss.
You know or recognize people, friendly faces and faces possibly seen behind a screen.
Smoking, phones. A visit to the exhibition of drawings inspired by the work.
It reopened its doors, interpreters and Ghezzi comment on the show, giving birth to perhaps neglected aspects: the 70's, 80's, decisions and indecisions, the certainties, illusions, fear, hope, strength of smile even personal tragedies.
Thoughts on becoming kidnapped kidnapper ... loneliness and disillusionment.
Lights out, theater, and 'a little' more 'full. A lighthouse, a man, a guitar to the tune of the poet's emotions: love love that you come Vai.
Then, the entry of the musicians of "The New Orchestra" chamber "of the Old City (Maggi Diego - piano and keyboards, Claudia Zannoni - already the 'voice of" Monopoliodistato "- bass and vocals and percussion - and Frank Ferrara - wind and vocals) adds air to the atmosphere.
All with the warm voice accompany Damiano Geordie, The song of love lost, de Crueza But, Rimini ... interspersed with a few words and some "shit", to read texts and papers that fall.
End? Yes, End.
But the crowd called back again and again a man with his guitar and his voice: If you cut into small pieces, almost explicit request of Mrs. Ghezzi, Damian gives us his unpublished "Not that which goes to radio right now ... not do promotion, I wrote another piece, which, after I would like a private opinion of Dori "Do it yourself.
But is not 'over, while the equipment is disassembled and Damian' still in the midst of people, his people. Other autographs, greetings, pictures, dolls given away, pats on the shoulder, good luck ... until 'the clouds lost in a December night, souls warm on a cold evening.
offer me a coffee ... If you like what I write .... and to make the site live. Thanks
