As part of the celebrations for the 150 years since the unification of Italy, this theatrical performance seeks to bring together the words of Alessandro Manzoni, the best-known writer of united Italy, with music by some of the leading contemporary composers, to present a world to us which is still our own, a world which, with all its virtues, vices and contradictions, is still able to move us. This blend of words, dance and music teases out the golden thread running through the novel, which is the author's gaze - implacable, yet at the same time implicated - through which mankind is observed in its transformation from individual to collective, showing the way in which the story of each of us, whether counsciously or unconsciously, is the story of us all.
