Luceros Y Sombras
"Luceros y Sombras" takes inspiration from the duality of human relationships, exploring the constant interplay of light and shadow, contrasts and harmonies that characterize our interactions with the world and with others.
In this exciting journey, we will immerse ourselves in the passion-filled and protest-laden melodies of South American singer-songwriters Mercedes Sosa and Susana Baca, women who have embodied strength and sensitivity in their songs.
Through notes and lyrics, we will delve into four distinct dimensions of human relationships:
Relationship between humans and the planet: we will explore the delicate balance between humanity and nature, addressing crucial issues such as pollution, sustainability, and our connection with the Earth.
Relationship between nations: we will confront the contrast between war and peace, reflecting on the consequences of global conflicts and the possibilities of building a more harmonious and united world.
Relationships between communities: we will examine the dynamics within communities, distinguishing between those that support each other and those that exploit one another, shedding light on social inequalities and the transformative potential of solidarity.
Relationships between individuals: we will tackle the delicate subject of femicide and love, exploring the complexity of emotional bonds and the tragedy of gender-based violence.
Not just music: the skillful use of literary texts from works such as George Orwell's "1984" and the poems of Pablo Neruda, along with interviews with thinkers like Tiziano Terzani and Susana Baca herself, offers a performance that is both deeply reflective and stimulating.
The show was partially previewed at TedX 2023 in Lecco, while the first full performance took place in April 2024 at the Carducci Association in Como.
