Presentazione
La coperta di Ruth (Ruth’s Blanket) stages the drama of the Shoah with strong emotions and profound reflections on the themes of racial discrimination and human suffering.
The story is set during the period of anti-Semitism and describes the human spirit of those who, prisoners and victims of Nazism, lived part of their lives between life and death.
The theater company also includes actors with disabilities, whose presence and talent are a concrete example that limitations can be overcome and diversity can become a strength.
The proceeds from the evening will be used to support the association’s activities aimed at children with disabilities.Info

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
The legend of Tristan and Isolde, one of the most romantic stories of the Middle Ages, is very old: it tells the adventures of a knight and a princess who fall in love thanks to a magic elixir. Wagner composed the opera based on Goffredo di Strasburgo’s text and staged it in 1865. It is still considered one of the masterpieces of all time. The version that will be performed, while maintaining the essential dramaturgical and musical lines intact, is adapted in such a way as to exalt the magical and symbolic fairy-tale aspects of the story, which has at its centre important themes linked to the imaginary and ideal horizon of the world of chivalry, such as the search for love, the relationship between public morality and private morality, sin and fidelity.
