Massimo Zamboni
Wild bestiary. An illustrated reading
Massimo Zamboni takes us on a journey to discover the creatures who are changing the nature of our country. In marshlands, along canals, coastlines, and lagoons, in forests or open fields, we will observe never-before-seen animals or returning species, composing a song that is meant to be an invitation to look at the world with wonder. Wonder is what leads the search, the desire for knowledge that doesn’t leave anything out. With these premises, the animal world will open before us, revealing shapes and places. An illustrated reading accompanied by a filmed exploration of Stefano Schiaparelli’s works and background music composed by Zamboni himself and Matteo Maragno.
