Acqua - Il Musical

A journey through the pitfalls of the desert and the sea in search of a better place. A park, a mirror of our humanity, where consuming passions and illusions. The two worlds overlap between memories and hopes. What will happen?

Acqua is a performance, a Musical, a glimpse of life. It is a multipurpose art project. Our purpose is to raise awareness of the major social issues of immigration and integration. It is also and above all a journey into the human universe, in which the different stories of the characters intersect and tell their own anxieties, insecurities, dreams and hopes.

Acqua is a wide-ranging project that started from afar, with an encounter that sparked an initial inspirational phase, which then became a real creative challenge, from the composition of the text, music, to the design of the sets, to the work in rehearsal.

The project also aims to provide participants with specific and unique artistic training through which even non-professional actors can derive satisfaction from a path of expressive growth up to the staging of the play.

Acqua is an experience to be had if only to open an extra door in our souls and decide to face each moment of our lives with the intensity they deserve.

The show
In ACQUA, against the backdrop of a simple story, a metaphor for our lives, the poems of Radwan, a young Somali boy, emerge. Radwan's poems show our world as seen through his eyes, his questions, his unanswered abysses. 

From his words seep sensations, metaphors, hints of a long difficult and exhausting journey, as well as the difficulty of being understood and the feeling of being a victim of prejudice everywhere.

In WATER, Radwan's reality emerges in a delicate, dreamlike form among the characters' stories. A diary is found on a park bench that stands on a seaport. It is Radwan's diary. 

The characters in the story, characters who meet in the park in their daily lives, one by one will encounter Radwan's words, and this will give a new key to their lives and an inexplicable desire to change course.  A diary that gives courage and invites them to follow their dreams and be themselves. A diary that opens only in the hands of some-and some not. 

A Musical that is a journey into ourselves, and at the same time an invitation to discover what lies behind what we thought we understood, and instead totally eludes us. An invitation to look and listen not with the mind and its dogmas and prejudices, but with the heart.
