(ANSA) - ROME, 04 MAY - "Attempting a live expressive form by bringing together several disciplines, already longed for by Richard Wagner, is a path that I began more than thirty years ago, between 1989 and 1990. "It is not a demonstration of power, but of power: of being able to do something.
A multidisciplinary story to arouse emotions in the beholder, because we artists are street vendors of suggestions". This is how Claudio Baglioni tells Tutti su! Happy birthday Claudio, the film adaptation of the twelve live Dodici Note -Tutti Su! that last summer were staged at the Baths of Caracalla in Rome.
Tutti su!, produced by Friends & Partners together with Comesrl, in collaboration with the Teatro dell'Opera di Rome and distributed by Medusa Film, is "an invitation to get up, find the best of ourselves and take back our lives" and comes out in hall on 15, 16 and 17 May, coinciding with the singer-songwriter's 72nd birthday.
"They thought of giving me a gift with this title, I would have preferred something more solid, maybe a carton of wine", jokes Baglioni, who says he has always "envied cinema as the sum of various things: inside it has all the possibilities to make senses and feelings work It has the ability to condense all the other arts into a single expression".
However, cinema is only the passage for the next live: in September Baglioni returns live with "aTUTTOCUORE", 14 appointments designed in three spatial dimensions (horizontality, verticality, depth).
Six dates at the Centrale del Foro Italico in Rome (September 21-22-23 and 28-29-30), 3 at the Verona Arena (October 5-6-7), 3 at the Paolo Borsellino Velodrome in Palermo (12-13- October 14) and 2 at the Arena della Vittoria in Bari (October 20-21).
"Why not the stadiums? We're working on going back there, but in reality it's the last place to have to give a concert - he explains -. It's a place for a collective ritual. It's the stadium itself that calls, more than the name on the bill at times and after the covid it has revitalized the live world. But there, no one listens and sees really well. There are many disturbing elements. I will go back, but giving an optimal fruition experience for everyone".
