Abu sotto il mare
Paolo Falasca: composer, original music; musician (guitars, keyboards), sound / light designer
Pietro Piva: actor, narrator, author of the original text, direction
Theatrical show inspired by a news story. It is a story of a migrant, but first of all, of a world of adults that forces a child to hide, to feel fear, to deprive himself of his dignity. A production by Accademia Perduta, for Romagna Teatri. Special mention at the Scenario per Ustica 2017 Award.
"The artist is capable of making us perceive, with painful irony and skilful use of the body mask, the terrible conflict of a child on the run. Precisely because of the delicacy with which he manages to treat the visions, dreams and hopes of little Abu, Pietro Piva shows us the terribleness of every refugee, forced to forget his own world to venture, perhaps hidden inside a pink suitcase, towards the unknown". (Special mention, Scenario Ustica 2017 Award)
