It's time!
We are a group of artists who think it is time to talk about peace. A peace that we have the power to take care of.
We want to give our contribution and create a show that leaves us with a sense of hope, sowing values such as beauty, silence, lightness. Values that give us strength, heal us, bring us closer.
In this world that seems to be crumbling in our hands, in which everywhere we turn we are frightened by the cruelty of which our species is capable, we want to resonate with a different note.
And we want to do it through the means that belong to us: music, movement, words, masks.
Let's start from here
Two women, a wolf, birds. A cage, a song and a distant light.
«Between Heaven and Earth» emerges from an artistic research around the figures of St. Francis of Assisi and Jalal al-Din Rumi. Two men who, although immersed in very distant cultural and religious contexts, embodied universal values such as Peace and Love.
A dialogue between the Christian West and the Sufi Islamic East. An encounter between the Middle Age and the present time. A mixture of different theatrical languages, filling the space by building up bridges. An invitation to turn our gaze inward, to explore the invisible world that resides within us and that we often know too little about.
We Need You!
Artistically, we’re ready to go: rehearsals are underway, ideas are flowing, the first pieces of music have been composed, the mask-making has begun, and our costume designer is just waiting on final details to start bringing the costumes to life.
On the organizational side, we’re also making great progress and are deeply grateful for the generous support we’ve received so far. Fabriggli in Buchs is co-producing the project, Spazio Elle in Locarno (Switzerland) and the Antico Monastero di San Biagio (Italy) are hosting us with artistic residencies and rehearsal spaces. Our premiere with OSA! at Teatro Cambusa in Locarno is confirmed, and the first eight tour dates are already scheduled.
But there’s one small – yet critical – issue: our funding requests haven’t produced the hoped-for results. And now, the future of the show is at risk. To bring the production to completion, we’re still missing 10,000 CHF.
We are fully convinced of the strength of our artistic vision – we’re ready to invest passion, energy, and love into this project. But to do that, we need your support. Together, we can transform a beautiful and vibrant potential into a powerful reality. Together, we can make things happen.
From the bottom of our hearts – thank you for your support!
Brita, Sara, Samuel, and Emanuele
