Playing and laughing with music and songs. An easy task for Elio and his band of young virtuosos, who now enjoy exploring and reinventing that immense, seriously comic repertoire on the border between singing and disenchantment. This repertoire, especially around the 1960s, permeated Italian music, song, cabaret, and theater. From Fo to Gaber, from Jannacci to Cochi and Renato, from Flaiano to Marcello marchesi, and many more, a generation of eccentric and nonconformist artists who amazed and entertained everyone, from experimentalists to the public, by reinventing a musical genre rich in quirky and playful “lighthearted songs.” This show aims to do just that: rediscovering and renewing those brilliant, innovative, and unconventional ideas, as well as that creative freedom. Because there’s something wonderful about being there “when a musician laughs (“quando un musicista ride” in italian).
