And a useless caress was enough to turn the world upside down – anarchic and poetic tale by Piero Ciampi
Biography and anecdotes are left out of this “anarchic and poetic tale” where the words live outside the accompanying music. There is also room, however, for a few song excerpts, performed with intensity and poetic vigor by the actress. Alongside the protagonist is the talented accordionist Giulia Bertasi, who does not limit herself to mere […]

Fought as they played

Moby Dick (although many have tried)
Moby Dick does not tell a story. It is not a novel. Perhaps not even a book. It is a monster that stands among other written volumes as the white leviathan stands among other sea creatures. Moby Dick cannot be narrated, “though many have tried” (to quote Melville). What can a narrator do with it, […]
