Alessio Boni e Marcello Prayer in Canto degli esclusi

Bringing to the stage a life that is incandescent, sharp, deliberately devoid of metaphors.

Allowing the story to reveal itself in all its raw sincerity, without frills, with the ferocity of urgency.

This is the tension that Il Canto degli escluso, created by Alessio Boni and Marcello Prayer, tries to embody with the modesty reserved for rarity. Between poems and aphorisms - which are memories, excruciating suffering, whirling joys, whispered passions - Alda Merini returns with all her power and fragility, in an elegant intimacy marked by doubts, regrets, hopes and visions that only celestial messengers know how to decipher and make dance. A Concertato a due that merges into a single enveloping voice, capable of outlining the dark sides of consciousness, the silences and ghosts that inhabited the mind of this woman, without crossing the boundaries that mystery erects as a requirement of a fulfilled life. In the karst world of the poetess of the Navigli flows a swollen vein of irony that touches – indiscriminately – lightness and drama, leaving in the most intimate folds of the soul a fickle trace to be kneaded with the matter of everyday life. We will remain – aware or not – excluded, but perhaps we will know how to sing.
