Una tazza di mare in tempesta

Roberto Abbiati has transformed his passion for Moby Dick into a show dedicated to children and families. Inspired by the illustrations in Matteo Codignola’s book Un tentativo di balena (2008), the actor, musician and illustrator freely transports his version of Melville’s masterpiece into the heart of a ship. Una tazza di mare in tempesta (Fiesole Prize for the arts) invites us into a miniature wooden hold, where stories and characters come to life in a journey dedicated to fantasy, music, theatre and storytelling: a small masterpiece of craftsmanship and imagination, of enchanting scenic machines and bizarre characters.
