A play-concert written by Marco Martinelli and performed by Alessandro Renda from\u00a0Teatro delle Albe<\/a>, with Enzo and Lorenzo Mancuso. Presented in Italian with English supertitles.<\/p>\n NJ Premiere Tuesday, February 18, 2014 Introduction<\/strong>\u00a0by Dr. Teresa Fiore (Inserra Chair)<\/p>\n Post-show round table<\/strong>\u00a0with Marco Martinelli, Alessandro Renda, Enzo and Lorenzo Mancuso, and Dr. Marisa Trubiano (Italian Program, MSU)<\/p>\n An intense monologue that transfigures into grotesque and melancholic poetry the tragic account of migrants adrift in the Mediterranean,\u00a0Noise in the Waters\u00a0<\/em>develops through the figure of a demonic and sarcastic general \u2013 the inhabitant of a phantom islet between Europe and Africa \u2013 who evokes the spirits of the lost at sea. Midway between a sorcerous s\u00e9ance and a bureaucratic catalogue, the general\u2019s monologue \u2013 delivered by Alessandro Renda \u2013 is accompanied by musicians Enzo and Lorenzo Mancuso who, with their powerful voices of ancient deities, seem to howl the pain of humanity from the depths of an abyss, the embodiment of an “oratorio for the sacrificed.”<\/p>\n \u201c[\u2026] The shocking everyday reality of overcrowded boats that sink and for which no one feels responsible is evoked with poetry and accusation like an ancient tragedy, and at the same time re-projected into the present through the reference to fortress Europe and its mechanisms of disregard and defense. Alessandro Renda\u2019s Frontex Neptune is made ridiculous with a distorted, squeaky voice and tired, lordly gesticulations, accompanied by the archaic spirit song of the Mancuso Brothers, from which perhaps the souls of the dead emerge.\u00a0Rumore di acqu<\/em>e is a complex requiem that does not stop at simple \u201cdenunciation\u201d, and it moves us for precisely this reason [\u2026]\u201d.\u00a0 – Renate Klett, Theater der Zeit<\/p>\n Under the patronage of:\u00a0
