from “The Tale of the Unknown Island” by José Saramago.
with Roberto Gemo live music and resonant voice; Natalia Migotto singing voice
«All islands, even the known ones, are unknown until one sets foot on them.»
An enchanting love tale, masterfully suspended between reality and dream. He plays the guitar in his own, unique way: plucking, provoking, seducing it. He seeks something, at any cost, stubbornly; there must be a Place, perhaps an island not yet marked on the maps where to live that hidden dream at the bottom of destiny: a fulfilled love. She sings straight to the heart, allowing herself to be traversed by the many stories heard behind that half-open door...
But one strikes her like a saber and changes her life. The seductive, hypnotic voice of the waves crashing on the shore invites one to enter that sea, to push out to sea and begin the journey on the longed-for boat.
Onward... onward...!
The Unknown Island is waiting for us…
The landscape lights up as the tale opens its imaginary course, making the Temple that Antonio Canova has gifted to his hometown not only an extraordinary monumental frame but also the point from which to view differently what we still do not know.
In case of bad weather, Teatro Cavanis at 9:00 p.m.
