SICILIAN SPRING + MAGNIFICAT 2
Butoh dance is one of the most interesting expressions of contemporary dance theater. It begins in Japan in '59 with atsumi Ijikata and Kazuo Hono, and poses as a rebellion against the inhuman civilization that brought with it the atomic bomb, the massification and the Americanization of Japanese society.
SICILIAN SPRING characterized by the use of a two-faced mask, presented for the first time in Tokyo in January 2006, the show won the First Prize & quot; Die Platze & quot; at the Tokyo Contemporary Dance Festival. The revised and corrected tradition of modern Japan meets the disharmony of the contemporary European, the ritual and melancholy echo of the Sicilian cunto.
MAGNIFICAT 2 Show inspired by the myth of Jocasta, mother and wife of Oedipus: forbidden eroticism, motherhood and its collapse.

IN THE PRINCIPLE: Chronicle of the Hindu creation
An ALMACEN production associated artists
With the contribution of the "Teatro Stabile della Toscana-Teatro Metastasio" of Prato
Written and directed by Maria Erica Pacileo
With Fernando Maraghini
A show in which Fernando Maraghini, in the role of himself, takes advantage of the encounter with the public to talk about the Hindu creation according to the myth of Prajapati through the study of very ancient poetic texts such as the Rgveda that date back to 1800- 1500 a.C.
The engine of this interest finds its pretext in a sentence "Thansk to God, i'm here" as a child from his maternal grandmother, almost like a sort of mantra. The text recited by Fernando ranges from poetry to philosophy, to myth, giving form to a cosmogony of words and emotions that explore the roots of our origin traveling through the Hindu tradition..

Clash to punk story of province
by and with Andrea Merendelli + stra combat rock live band
Born from the deep and visceral love for the musical adventure of the CLASH, "the only band that matters", as it has been defined by the greatest rock critic of all time, Lester Bangs.
CLASH TO ME born from the memories of 25 years of Italy, of Tuscany, of the minor and marginal province that has marked (and sometimes scarred) our lives. The disfigurements that are not forgotten are the death of Roberto Procelli, a friend. A young Tuscan from Anghiari who left his 20 years among the ruins of Bologna Station. A massacre that killed 84 people with him. It was August 2, 1980. A few weeks before 10.25 on August 2, 1980, CLASH played in Bologna. I wonder if Roberto will have seen the CLASH in Bologna, the CLASH of the fiery Piazza Maggiore concert. A month later Roberto is returning home, maybe he saw that concert, but we'll never know.
From this question, which we have been carrying with us for 25 years, from the death of Roberto and the death of Joe Strummer, voice of the CLASH and soundtrack of our lives, the punk story is born, an adult vision of memories of disbanded young people, who live in laughing Tuscany and dream of urban decay. A story of self-excluded young people, now mature and integrated, reabsorbed into this beautiful society that, in words, wanted to fuck. Ex-young punk aimlessly, who today are 40 years old, are bald and with a broken belly. A burned ex-youth who today lives a boiled maturity.Andrea Merendelli recounts poetry and the absence of any stage rhetoric with anger and urgency.
From background to its history, the music & nbsp; played live by STRA, a band that has never considered CLASH a former group
