The first appointment of the theater review “Previews… and more!”, promoted and produced by the PianoinBilico Cultural Association, has as its theme theImmigration and will see the dialogue between the great epic poem “Odyssey” by Homer, read by the actress Giulia D’Imperio, and the text “UNOUNO” by the author, director and actor Ippolito Chiarello. On the one hand there is Ulysses and his historic attempt to return home, on the other a boy, whose Odyssey is marked by a journey lasting almost 10 years, which will end with his becoming an adult. The journey as a metaphor, the journey as a necessity, the journey as a discovery.
Together with the two actors, the accordionist Bruno Galeone (who will accompany Ippolito Chiarello) and the drummer Alessandro Rossi (who will accompany Giulia D’Imperio) will participate in the mise en espace with their live music. The reading will be held at the space Cuccucucccucco Yoga+ in Viale Piceno 23A, in Milan and will be held twice (at 7.30pm and 9.00pm) to accommodate a large audience.
