The lauda took
place in a great place, in border of the port of Gènes ,
giving to the spectator the possibility to let his look drift
toward the big oceanic spaces… Of course, not for
a long time because the action happened on stage and the
spectacle was filled of strong moments, a delicate balance
of hope, emotion and spirituality. The stages important of
the life of saint françois are put on the lights by
the excellent game of the actors and a choreography that
wins in soberness regarding its first beginnings. The particular
musicality of Angelo Branduardi brings a sort of sacred apotheosis
to the message full of humanity of a man as the other. It
unites especially around the musician every inherent artistic
body like an omage to the particular kind of the lauda.
An unforgettable moment was the passage of an enormous ship
near the arenas, as if suddenly, the notes of music rised in
the sky brought back s by the water many new listeners on earth
to listen to the franciscan’words…
