Director’s notes
Pèlerinage: along the tortuous paths of the soul, through wild woods and steep heights of the spirit; following in the footsteps of those pilgrims who, in Jubilee Europe, chased the image of God among Hermitages, Sanctuaries, Cathedrals.
And the journey arrives at the Teatro Rasi of Ravenna, a place whose architectural fusion with a church promotes it as a privileged threshold of this spiritual passage.
An itinerary that embraces dance, music, and word: from the most evocative pages of Berlioz’s Harold en Italie, to the expressions of medieval and Gregorian liturgy, to blues and gospel, like a dense devotional mosaic; from the sounds of nature to the voices of Chiara Muti and Alessio Boni here engaged in giving body to the words of mystics, poets, and religious figures of every era and confession.
