On Saturday 10 October at 4:00 pm, MAIN-Maison de l’Artisanat International has the honor of hosting a music-art event with the artist Stefano Faravelli and Giuseppe Cederna, a great Italian actor who works in the theater and on the big screen. Alternating literary and musical moments, the two artists and friends will tell thoughts and emotions of the pandemic taken from “Piccolo esorcismo (visionario) di una pianeta”, an artistic work by Stefano Faravelli that tells through drawings and thoughts the health emergency that has overwhelmed us. This latest artistic project was recently published by the well-known publishing house La Nave di Teseo and is currently on display at MAIN within the exhibition “Pandemonio – tra vita, morte e miracoli”. The friend and actor Giuseppe Cederna , a famous Italian actor who works in the theater and on the big screen, edited the preface describing Faravelli as a person and as an artist with great sensitivity.
The presentation of the catalogue of Faravelli’s work will be accompanied by the music of the Humana Fragilità Ensemble , a trio composed of the musicians Carlotta Populin, Franco Celio Cioli and Maximiliano Danta Texeira.
An event not to be missed with internationally renowned artists that will transform the Gignod exhibition center into an exceptional stage.
The event is free but reservations are recommended at 0165-56108.
