2015 Programme
Event #21
Giuseppe Battiston, Piero Sidoti
LA LA LA. When there is no answer
An actor and a songwriter perform a lively new show on the stage of Festival della Mente 2015. Through his songs, Piero Sidoti explores modern day-to-day life and the great questions of existence (time, love, happiness, utopia) ranging from poetry to irony, from sentimentality to the grotesque. Giuseppe Battiston investigates humanity in all its contradictions and infinite beauty, playing the part of the singer for the occasion. Light-hearted and entertaining, Sidoti and Battiston – along with five musicians: Claudio Dadone (guitars), Piero Ponzo (sax and clarinet), Antonio Della Marina (keys), Nicola Negrini (double bass), Claudio Giusto (drums) – suggest that there are not always answers to the many mysteries of existence, and that the real secret is to never stop asking questions.
