Highlights
An experience in which the public will find itself surrounded by projections, lights, music; a one-of-a-kind show in which the stages, the ceiling and the holographic sheets become the projection surfaces on which the narrative develops. Over the centuries, the harmonies and disharmonies of nature have inspired musicians and composers who have tried to translate into music the alternation of the seasons, the noises produced by natural phenomena, by living beings, by the movements of the cosmos. “Sounds in Extinction” questions and questions the viewer on the relationship between music, art and the natural environment, and on the evolution of this relationship in relation to a world that is increasingly artificial, urban, virtual and the danger of the progressive disappearance of entire ecosystems.

The plot
In 1600s Spain, a man fascinated by epic tales of chivalry and scornful of danger, imagines himself to be the knight Don Quixote committed, along with his squire Sancho Panza, to protect the people from injustice… starting from this incipit, author Miguel de Cervantes (played by Lollo Franco) will tell a new adventure of his characters, to the music of the 1746 intermezzo by Giovanni Battista Martini.
Spoken parts of the performance are in Italian; a basic understanding of the language is adviced.
Performances from Tue to Fri are events for school groups. In case seats are available to the general audience, they will be on sale on the same day of performance at the box-office.
Saturday and Sunday performances are open to all.-

Presentation
With this project made of breath, air, wind, vital breath, we hope that the Earth, progressively freed from pollution, can breathe again.
The piece, of great emotional intensity and sonic and musical fascination, is intended (in the promoters’ intention) as a liberating trigger of strong energies, directed towards an ever-increasing awareness of environmental and sustainability issues and the actions to be taken to implement them.A Sound Ecology project to affirm once again affirms that music and the practice of the musical instrument are fundamental in the overall development of the individual, harmonising cognitive faculties with the deepest moods and emotions and acting as a stimulus for the development of the expressive and creative potential of the human being and his interpersonal relational network.
In addition to its specific artistic content, the work’s formative value is particularly significant. In an intergenerational and inclusive experience of new musical languages, it brings together 4 soloists and 100 very young flute players from the flute classes of the Palermo schools with a music focus, from the Liceo Musicale and young Conservatory students who act as tutors in this great project of migration and change.-
