DESCRIPTION
A musical story-game with choices about a sound character looking for a home.
Piccolo Signor Rumore (Little Mr Noise) is a curious little ball with little legs and arms who doesn’t know where he came from: he wants to find his home! Through silent deserts, stormy seas, cultivated meadows and chaotic cities, he will meet characters such as two rodents, Gioffredo the lawnmower robot, camels, seagulls, bicycles, coconut sellers, prepared pianos and more. Will he find his home? He will need the help of the children in the audience to find the right path: through choices, challenges and riddles, it will be the audience who decides his journey.
Piccolo Signor Rumore is not only the first concert-game, but also a search for self, a small graphic novel of formation through the world of sound, without any discrimination between music and noise. Piccolo Signor Rumore is a great opportunity to reflect on what music is. The audience must listen to the musicians’ music, but the musicians must follow the audience’s instructions. Between a vibraphone, a xylophone, drums, cymbals, pianos, a trombone or a euphonium, a trumpet and, yes, sticky tape, screws, bolts and a mysterious contraption, the fourth wall is definitely down!

AROUND THE PERFORMANCE
In order to get the most out of the concert, each child will need to prepare a small paper arrow, for which a template will be provided. After the show, there will be a music workshop in the classroom.
