(ANSAmed) - NAPLES, NOV 16 - The musical project "Le Due
Lune" (The Two Moons) will take place 17 and 18 November at Expo
2020 in Dubai, using music to open a new dialogue between the
East and the West.
The project comes from a collaboration between the University
of Naples L'Orientale, the project sponsor; the World Youth
Orchestra Foundation; and IULM University of Milan, with the
support of the Fondazione Cultura e Arte Internazionale.
It traces a multi-ethnic path that crosses and unites two
different cultures that are intrinsically linked, that of the
Arab-Islamic world and that of the West.
The research work, carried out in workshops and seminars in
Rome, Naples and Milan, will be in Dubai during the week
dedicated to the theme of "Tolerance and Inclusiveness", with
the show inspired by a story from "The Thousand and One Nights",
titled "The Two Moons".
The staging combines storytelling and music, alternating the
elegance of the word with the seduction of sounds to tell the
long history of exchanges between Asia, the Middle East and
Mediterranean Europe.
Narration in Italian and Arabic, accompanied by the universal
language of music, will invite viewers to cross every
linguistic, cultural and geographical barrier to hear a
wonderful story of inclusiveness, peace and tolerance.
On November 17, in the Auditorium of the Italian Pavilion in
Dubai, a listening laboratory on the poetic texts and music of
the show will be held with an audience.
On November 18, at the Millennium Amphitheater, "The Two
Moons" will be performed, with text, direction and musical
direction by Damiano Giuranna; actresses Valeria Almerighi and
Silina Choueiry; and musicians of the World Youth Orchestra.
IULM University of Milan, through the work of Giuseppe
Carrieri, will offer a visual itinerary that will be projected
during the show.
"The video wall will become an altar of scenes and
landscapes, ancient and archaic, that build the panorama of a
distance that belongs to us and looks to the kasbahs of Naples
as the favorite seat of a web of worlds without geography,"
Carrieri said.
"The video wall will thus become an image of a palpable
atmosphere to which only music will give voice with its
instruments," he said.
At the end of the project, a study day will be held at the
IULM University.
