SONG of SONGS
Based on the “Song of Songs” Re Salomone Written and directed by: Simona Lisi and Caterina Pontrandolfo Music by: Simona Lisi and Caterina Pontrandolfo Costumes by: Stefania Cempini Choreography: Simona Lisi Production: Associazione Ventottozerosei in collaboration with Festival Adriatico Mediterraneo and Teatro Stabile delle Marche. Two women, two microphones – words, gestures, rhythm. A symbolic language that stores the origins of all languages and that searches for a dialogue trough the two rhapsodic voices. It is a winged song that belongs to the humans, it originates from the Hebrew culture and encounters all the others cultures; across the times, it arrives to all – peoples, lovers, and the ones who desire love.Contacts: simonalisi@idra.it Studio Fidemi Ph: 06 39743416 studiofidemi@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/lisisimona Links: http://simonalisi.idra.it. http://www.sudlab.com/simona-lisi.html Workshop: http://simonalisi.idra.it/category/pedagogia/
