Medusa participated in the Catania FringeFestival in October 2023.
Critics have called the work "A hymn to life and the transformative power of love." It is a work based on the expressiveness of the body and the sonority of music that takes the viewer on a profound personal journey.
It is a multimedia work in which humanity, the main theme of the story, is addressed through the Greek myth "we are born and grow in a world that first welcomes us and then tests us until we are reborn better."
Medusa conceived and directed by Ivano Torre is a multimedia show born in the wake of his recent works, in which the main theme is the transformation of the human being. Medusa is the main symbol of the narrative, an unconscious being increasingly imprisoned by her own actions in a way that does not spare her, a journey that Medusa faces in six acts to arrive at the purification that will take place through Perseus. A journey through which to change, react, desire, transform, fall and be reborn more aware, more courageous, and freer to love. A performance without texts, but with many overlapping words, in a world where time, overwhelmed by a continuous undaunted din, is ephemeral, fictitious, and elusive transforming into non-time. A unique experience in which music, sounds, melodies, voices, noises, movement, and acting are interwoven.
The work deals with the themes of birth, discovery, war, violence, environmental disaster, and loneliness with topicality through myth. A sharp and decisive cut given by the author that puts before us the reality in which we live, naked and raw, to make us open our eyes and struggle. A show that generates a driving spark of the generation of a hope to change, improve, and live life with love. A temporal transposition in which through myth we are led to understand our identity.
On stage the great Ticino musician and composer Ivano Torre, who will juggle the labyrinth of his percussion instruments, and the actress-performer Valentina Barri, who has accompanied him for years now in his latest works.
