Le Rose di Sarajevo

The show will be held in Teatro Ristori

Le Rose di Sarajevo (The Roses of Sarajevo) is a tribute to the poet Izet Sarajlić, who wrote about his city and witnessed the Bosnian tragedy, but they are also the furrows dug into the ground by the shell bursting. Here, on stage, Damato reads some of Sarajlić’s poems and then duets with De Luca: together they give voice to Lettere fraterne (Brotherly Letters), the epistolary between Sarajlić and De Luca themselves. Giovanni Seneca’s Minuscola Orchestrina Balcanica embarks their words on a musical ship with irresistible Balkan-Mediterranean atmospheres, for a choral and intimate tale of one of the darkest pages of recent European history. 

In case of bad weather, the show will be held in Teatro Ristori
