First experiment inside the former Auditorium of Santa Cecilia whereby the stage action surrounds the orchestra with very few elements; the Choir uninvolved, still during its interventions on the platforms that usually host it during the concerts.
In this case the focus was on an extremely bare theatrical form, completely renouncing to stage costumes and props, giving space instead to video projections on different surfaces, as narrated by the video.
