Orlando Furioso, I Pupi Siciliani – Sicilian Marionettes.

I pupi toccano l’anima con fili invisibili, solleticando i nostri mondi nascosti con le loro storie d’arme e d’amor. Carlo Magno, Orlando, Rinaldo e Angelica, buoni e cattivi, eroi e vinti, cristiani e saraceni, mostri mitologici e figure magiche. Essi rappresentano la più riuscita sintesi storico-iconografica mai attuata, sono il risultato dell’intreccio fra tecniche artigianali altamente specializzate e racchiudono un enorme valore sociale e culturale. Il libro ricostruisce la storia e l’arte dell’Opera dei Pupi – riconosciuta dall’Unesco “Capolavoro del Patrimonio Orale e Immateriale dell’Umanità” –, delinea le personalità dei protagonisti e offre uno spaccato inedito su una delle massime espressioni dell’estro siciliano.

Though he was born near St. Petersburg, Russia, Stravinsky wrote and debuted many of his career-making works while living in France in the early 20th century. It was this day in 1913 that Stravinsky’s ballet ‘The Rite of Spring’ debuted at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.
