Première: July 21, 2012 • Castle Canussio • Cividello of Friuli (UD) (Italy) directed by Paul Czinner • (1929) • Music performed by Valentina Russo (Violin) - Cristina Vidoni (Violoncello) - Marius Baroccini (piano) (production coordinator : Mittelfest) • a masterpiece of expressionisme in cinema, related to the Central European climate of the '20s, but radically transformed, thanks to a contemporary musical accompaniment. The project, which is shared with the University of Udine, will be hosted in the palace park Canussio. In all four cases, an extraordinary and rare opportunity • "The music is in fact already present, both in the text of Schnitzler, which contains fragments of Schumann's Carnaval, and in the film, which in the opening scene shows Else's father playing the piano. I am moved by this idea, on the one hand evoking now the atmosphere of entertainment now almost futuristic dynamism, on the other hand emphasizing the moods of the characters with sounds from neo-Romantic and neo-expressionist, and escape at times in matterism.
