Description: The project draws inspiration from Italo Calvino’s book “The Invisible Cities” to create an interdisciplinary performance of music and theatre
The project draws inspiration from Italo Calvino’s book “The Invisible Cities” to create an interdisciplinary performance of music and theatre that aims to take the audience on a journey through hidden threads of cities we live in and forgotten spaces that live inside us.
The performance is built around musical scenes. Three musicians will create a “musical architecture”, translating essence of cities into music. An adventurous Marco Polo, in a metaphorical dialogue with the musicians, will guide the audience through the message of these cities.
The novel "The Invisible Cities" is an imaginary account that the famous Venetian traveler Marco Polo makes to the emperor of the Tartars, Kublai Kahn, about the cities spread over the immense territory of his Empire. At the boundary between reality and imagination, these accounts become a representation of life experiences, human emotions, desires, fears memories and relationships hidden under the appearance of cities.
