Love as the through line
Love is the thread running through the evening, told through Enzo Gragnaniello's intense music and the stage presence of Marisa Laurito, who sings and acts its tenderest, most ironic and deepest shades. These are two different registers, the musical and the theatrical, and the show holds them together without letting either take over.
The musicians on stage
On stage with Gragnaniello and Laurito, the musicians Piero Gallo on mandolin, Erasmo Petrigna on cello and Marco Caliguri on percussion accompany a repertoire that moves through Neapolitan and Mediterranean sounds and African echoes. The deliberately acoustic, pared-back line-up keeps voice and word in the foreground.
The repertoire
The show alternates pieces from the classic Neapolitan tradition, such as «Passione», «Scetate» and «Indifferentemente», with songs written by Gragnaniello, among them «O' mare e tu», «Vasame», «Senza voce» and «Cu'mmè», one of his best known. The Teatro Cilea is at Corso Giuseppe Garibaldi 325, Reggio Calabria.
