the first European festival on creativity

2014 Programme

Event #22

Paolo Rossi, Gianmaria Testa

Out of Place

A brand-new performance premiering in Sarzana. Paolo Rossi, the most bizzarre and scathing of the Italian comedians, and Gianmaria Testa, a singer-songwriter who has for some time become accustomed to coming to terms with “other” territories with respect to songs as they are traditionally defined, share a journey that is an open space, a piece of destiny, a time suspended inside which just about everything can fit: music, dream, hope, word, laughter, and, above all, the feeling – an increasingly tangible one – of always and in any case being.out of place. Also on the stage musicians like Emanuele Dell’Aquila (guitars) and Nicola Negrini (double bass, electric bass and U-bass).?Like snow in April/like the too many badly spoken words/ like, so to speak/an actor/who treads the stage/with a singer-songwriter»
