empty boxes, cartons, paper, wooden crates, clothes hanging on a thread and a bottle of wine form the backdrop to the performance of Alessandro Mannarino set entirely in room 27 of the Tiber Grand Hotel, a hotel that, despite the name , is only frequented by vagrants, prostitutes and poor people. Of these characters are, in fact, the story that tells the singer with his words and his music. His husky voice makes it more the idea of \u200b\u200ba dream world on the edge of exclusion.
You can see through the songs, really those characters and the prostitute, cease to be a prostitute and becomes a witch who turns people every time he makes love to her. And what you see, is the love that the character test for the prostitute. The same applies to cuttlefish, the illiterate bum and a bit 'philosopher believer in God but spit priests to pass the time.
Attention turns all around Mannarino that is never more than three steps on the tiny stage at the Comet off yet it seems to move tramp for a thousand real or invented parts of Rome, where pictures are being dictated to us (or, more precisely, the projected ) on a sheet spread on the scene. Houman Vaziri, violinist always sitting and static, brings us back to reality in short, we are sitting on chairs in a theater and we're watching a show. A show that is fun, a show that certainly does not reflect that, but just Like this, a show that is not a show but not even a concert, but which, when finished, you immediately want to see again.
