title
When the shadow is my mask
A flash of light opens the scene. It seems to indicate the way to an orchestra that I perceive being noisy in this darkness. A bow and rewinding in the curtain I walk away after having defied the weakness that has now become my strength.
The inclusion of deaf people in the theater is the juggling between multiple scenes and blank music sheets: silence is not absence but pure harmony. On stage as in life.
The Senzaspine Orchestra is currently an association of 450 musicians under the age of 35. Born in 2013 from the idea of two conductor and friends, Tommaso Ussardi and Matteo Parmeggiani.
From 2021 the participation in operas by deaf actors becomes a crucial part of a wider project whose aim is the maximum accessibility to music and theater spaces.
The intent of this association is to welcome everyone because music does not sting, welcomes everyone and manages to transmit even to those who do not hear. Other works with the presence of hearing impaired figures such as in this Rigoletto will be realized shortly.

entry description
Shrouded by the curtain, shadows where I feel abstracted from reality, strings try to hold me back, pride of someone wearing an heavy mask, here I find myself surrounded by the silence.A flash of light opens the scene. It seems to indicate the way to an orchestra that I perceive being noisy in this darkness. A bow and rewinding in the curtain I walk away after having defied the weakness that has now become my strength.
