IL CANTO DELLA CADUTA - Livremente inspirado no mito dos Fanes

At the core of Il Canto della Caduta is awar, that it never is seen on stage. But it is revealed to the audience throught the only characters that always make use of that scenery: the crows, the main fellows of the playwright, director and puppeteer Marta Cuscunà inthis new journey of resistance. A group of mechanical crows maneuvered throught joysticks, designed and built by set designer Paola Villani and that resort to some animatronic technologies, usually, used in cinematographic special effects.
Through those mechanical characters, Il Canto della Caduta poses some questions about our contemporaneity. Is war an indelible part of humankind's destiny? Is it realistically possible to switch from a system of constant wars and social injustice to a system that is peaceful and mutual? The answer - guides us Marta Cuscunà - maybe, just maybe, is in an ancestral legend, the myth of the Fanes, a peaceful kingdom of women, destroyed by the sword and by the beginning of an era of dominance.
