Presence moved by sound and song meet in a precise space-time, creating a unique, unpredictable, and unrepeatable form of communication.
The voices and compositions of the Fratelli Mancuso strike with the rich spirituality they evoke: living presences that connect us to something beyond the material, in a powerful, captivating, and simultaneously deeply human way…
The focus of the seminar’s research theme will be on the concept of moving listening, based on the assumption that listening is at the heart of the performative experience, and how listening can be a fertile container where the need for action is rediscovered.
In this context, live music plays a fundamental role in re-establishing a privileged relationship.
The ‘live’ performance restores the deep value of being in relationship, directing attention to the dialogue that arises.

Phases of study:

• Being moved by silence

• Discovering one’s own rhythm

• Being moved by the vibrations of sound

• Dialogue between music and dance in various forms

Through them, the struggles, hardships, heroism, and creativity of a people proud of their land are renewed.
The songs of the Fratelli Mancuso speak of ancient tensions, present civil indignations, age-old oppressions, and the eternal desire for freedom on the routes of our sea, the Mediterranean.
