'Shipwreck. Names and images from the pain of migrants' will be presented at the Centro Domus Art in Naples on November 21 and 22 at 19:XNUMX p.m. This chamber oratorio, conceived and directed by Rosario Diana, combines music and theater to offer a profound and poetic vision of current events.
The staging
Within the MTR (Music, Theater, Research) review, led by Rosalba Quindici, the actors Andrea Renzi and Silvia Ajelli are the main voices, flanked by the dancer Arianna Montella and the percussionist Lucio Miele, specialized in live electronics. The choreographies are a joint creation between Rosario Diana and Arianna Montella, with scenography curated by Nera Prota, together with Rebecca Carlizzi, Arianna Acanfora and Simona La Monica.
Sources and inspiration
The oratory is inspired by the book 'Nauaghìa Naufragium. Names and epiphanies from the pain of migrants. Poema a drammaturgia libera', written by Diana in 2021. The text is an amalgam of classical and modern literary works, including the verses of Sappho, Aeschylus, Empedocles and Lucretius, as well as Edmondo De Amicis' reportage on XNUMXth-century emigration and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Director's Statement
Rosario Diana explained that 'Naufragio' is a criticism of European migration policies. The show aims to give voice to the stories of migrants through their names, converted into sounds as a memorial to their sacrifice. Combining theater, music and dance, the work aims to convey a message of strong emotional impact. The initiative is supported by several cultural institutions, including the Quidra association, the Il Canto di Virgilio Foundation, the Academy of Fine Arts of Naples and the Institute for the history of modern philosophical and scientific thought of the National Research Council.
