At the Teatro Serra in Naples, "Roots and Beyond." From an idea by Gianni Genovese, the love for a life as an artist in a musical 'scherzo.'

A work that breaks the fourth wall and takes us behind the scenes, into the daily life of a company and its lead actor engaged in writing and hiring staff. Bent over the blank page, he has only a title. Nothing. The beginning of everything.
A 'scherzo' in the best tradition of the genre, a play about the birth of a show, about culture, thoughts, and traditions that come alive in the staging work. A deep sharing with the audience, to tell them about the passion and struggle of a life as an artist, through the conflicts and understandings between an anxiety-driven actress-singer and her patient accordionist.
"The project was born from the meeting with the project leader Gianni Genovese, who gave us the image of 'roots' and their overcoming after reading the script and studying our paths – says the author, known to television enthusiasts for the role of Marika in 'Un Posto al Sole' – The figure of the lead actor was born on its own, song after song. Newness and past, newness fished from the past. Our repertoire is our water, our pieces the mineral salts; the artistic resonances in which we recognized and found ourselves, our lifeblood."
The roots of a plant absorb and distribute this strength to the entire plant, allowing it to bloom. And the pollen to fly far.
