An original initiative that pays tribute to the great composer by exploring the relationship between his music and different forms of expression. On one side, the iconic moving images created first by designer Bruno Munari and more recently by Italian photographers Roberto Masotti and Silvia Lelli; on the other, the choreographic interpretation by Simona Bertozzi of two major works for solo cello, brought together for the first time to create a surprising and original spectacular framework.
