Lo spettacolo in breve
The plot
An interactive dance performance in which the young public actively collaborates in the creation of the show, thanks to the use of colours and abstract painting. The show is born from the interaction between children and dancers, each time producing a unique and unrepeatable result. A work in progress, light, magical but above all experimental.
The children, inspired by the musical pieces, will see the colours they have chosen come to life through the bodies of the dancers and the abstract strokes drawn by them in real time on the canvas interpreted by a dance inspired by their emotional trajectories. The memory will be nourished by the return to the class of the canvas produced, a work of art “signed” by the children and the Corps de Ballet of the Teatro Massimo, in memory of the sensory journey experienced together.
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 performances are open to all.

A musical journey for expecting families
A project entirely dedicated to expecting families – both the parents and their arriving child.
Two workshop to discover classical music, singing and to find one’s own voice, creating a cradle of sound for the whole family.
The workshop is recommended from the fifth to the eighth month of pregnancy, when it is scientifically proven that the foetus begins to perceive and react to sounds coming from outside. Replaying the sounds perceived during gestation, especially the parents’ voices, after birth produces relaxing effects, intensifies the sound bond with the baby and promotes vocal identification.
The workshop is held in Italian and a basic knowledge of the language is strongly advised.
Tickets
1 participant to 1 workshop € 10,00
1 participant to 2 workshops € 16,00

Workshop 1 (31 May): a guided listening session of live classical music, proposing interesting listening activities to be repeated at home during the months of pregnancy, a magical experience in contact with musical instruments and their vibrations;
Workshop 2 (7 June): a music and movement workshop with practical tips for playing with music in the family in the first months of life.

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.Poster
