Cappuccetto Rosso Post
Poet Davide Rondoni rewrites the tale of Little Red Riding Hood for the present day, entrusting it to the voice of the great Italian cinema and theatre actress Iaia Forte.
A modern Little Red Riding Hood who has never left the wood offers up a hymn, a lament, a portrait of modern day humanity, in search of a more natural life in the midst of fear of the wolf and the seduction of power and self-sufficiency.
It is a poetic text with tones of fury and irony, a cry in the form of a fairy tale, entrusted by the poet to the voice of one of the leading Italian theatre performers.

Nature’s Revenge
Valentino Corvino, composer and violinist has created a brand-new concert for Pollution 2018.
It is an original music composition, where man, the fruits of nature and of industry are invited to play together. It is a concert where the composer has orchestrated a work that involves a musical dialogue between the elements of the installations – classic instruments and new materials. It is a new experiment at a moment in which real music is looking for new roads away from banalisation and academia.

Corrispondenze
“Nature is a temple where living pillars/sometimes emit a swarm of words” wrote Charles Baudelaire in Les Fleurs du Mal in 1857. This new performance of symbols, sounds and movement is inspired by the verse of the French poet.
In his famous poem Correspondances, Baudelaire speaks of nature as a forest of symbols that look at man with a “familiar gaze”, a sign that nature wants to be known in its mystery through an experience of correspondence between the senses, discoveries and different semantic fields. The pathway suggests an experience of correspondence through the combination of music and different sounds.
