It’s a musical reading of the famous cult text, now translated into more than three hundred languages. This version has been adapted in order to allow interaction between the two languages, made up of sounds and wordswith the aim of arousing new emotions with a different fruition of the masterpiece thanks to the extraordinary interpretative skills of the artists involved, in absolute respect of the original text.
This version was premiered at Florence Teatro Comunale on 2003.
