THEATER | POPULAR WRITING
With our voices, we are climbing the trees. With our bodies, we see the world from above, finally freed, without us. As we are climbing, so as not to fall, we cross the scriptures that made us sing or dance. We hold onto songs or books in order to write or sing again. Sometimes our voices get stuck, we argue and there is a risk of falling. And there’s something to laugh about. But once at the top, where the fish born in the tree puddles live, we find ourselves in the forest of our thoughts. The forest where our new writing is about to born. A kind of rebel musical. Yet the forest begins to tremble, and it goes to war. // Arrampicarsi is a two voices piece for the radio, an original writing with lyrics and live songs by Cristian Ceresoli and Silvia Gallerano.
