THE BOX (BOX) PROMETHEUS ENSEMBLE

The box (The Box, 1962/3) it is a scenic_musical reworking for performers, projections and chamber orchestra by Franco Evangelisti, refined musical researcher and founder of Nuova Consonanza. The "flexibility" that Evangelisti pursued in the overall conception of the work becomes an accessible gateway to new interpretative elements, aesthetic, dramaturgical and visual. A new lifeblood for the eight structures designed and their infinite aggregations and formal solutions. The intersubjective reaction or moment of individual freedom, neurosis as an acceptable escape, lyrical escape, the reaction as a response of collective psychology, linguistic gestural dissociation, the delirious escape, the glorification of the system, identification with the system of minimum effort. The moment of musical performance becomes above all a representation of a new world that the performers contribute to creating - "making the theatrical action survive in music" wrote Evangelisti -, the only truly alternative and intense contemporary "fusion between visual and sound acts".
