*LO SPETTACOLO DEL RICORDO A L'AQUILA*

"Sono passati dieci anni e da quando ho sentito il bisogno di diffondere nel mondo la mia esperienza per ricordare la mia città, la mia gente. Così ho proposto al direttore dell'Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Alberta Lai, l'idea di uno spettacolo del ricordo.
In realtà, volevo fare qualcosa di più: condividere l'idea che se c'è una nuova opportunità, questa potrebbe essere una forza per coloro che credono di non avere via d'uscita. Lo devo a tutte quelle persone che hanno preso le loro vite troppo presto, e lo devo a me stesso e al senso di colpa di sopravvivere. Volevo rispondere di me stesso perché ho una seconda possibilità e l'altra 309 no?
Improvvisamente sentii il bisogno di divulgare qualcosa di diverso da una semplice esibizione di poesie alternate a musica per voce e pianoforte."
(Roberta Terchi Nocentini)

Stiamo sostenendo questa iniziativa di Roberta Terchi Nocentini e della sua fantastica squadra, che ci pregeremo di presentare alla Città in estate. ☀

Spero che tu possa aiutarci a raccogliere fondi che non solo forniranno stipendi per gli artisti e l'equipaggio coinvolti, ma anche per gli enti di beneficenza.
La loro prima opera benefica sarà rivolta all'Associazione Azimut per acquistare un defibrillatore da collocare nel "Parco del Sole", nel cuore della Città Rinata!

Thought of the day about the Tomorrow

THE PROJECT OF “RITE OF TOMORROW”
(Roberta Terchi Nocentini)

I am an Italian abroad and, obviously, I love to share with American people my art and culture. But as a survivor from the earthquake of 2009, from the monster that killed 309 people, I want to not only share but remember those 309, some of them friends of mine, people who shared with me a full life until then.
It has been ten years, and since I’ve felt the need to spread to the world my experience for remembering my town, my people. This is how I proposed to the director of the Italian Cultural Institute, Alberta Lai, the idea of ​​a show of remembrance.
In reality, I wanted to do something more: to share the idea that if there is a new opportunity, this could be a strength for those who believe they have no way out. I owe it to all those people who had their lives taken too soon, and I owe it to myself and the feeling of guilt of surviving. I wanted to answer for myself why I have a second chance and the other 309 didn't?
I suddenly felt the need to divulge something other than a simple performance of poems alternated with music for voice and piano.
I immediately thought of Natalja Aicardi, an artist with a thousand facets and rare sensitivity. This was a winning stroke because she, through my stories of that nightmare managed to find the thread that unified my ideas with my feelings of suffering and hope. It is she who gave birth to the form of "ritual" as a healing pathway through the art.
But there was still a hole in the performance’s soul that only music could fill. Thinking about my feelings, a voice that was warm and dark could have all those contradictory elements I need for describing that night and the days after. Who better than Daniel Johanson, with whom I had already collaborated last year and whom I had loved the artistic flexibility and human sensitivity.
This is how Rite of Tomorrow was born, a ritual of reflection and hope for each one of us, a sign that tomorrow can still be a rebirth.
