"Here in this land of the spin begins seven brothers. These plans were the arms of the seven brothers to work, these channels, this vineyard, everything around here, they made the seven brothers, and this is their farm, that is stable, the famous stable rational pride of the seven brothers, and the famous cattle for milk and weight, and there are beehives of Ferdinand, the fourth of seven, the beekeeper, and behold the wing of the house was on fire that night, here are the windows that The brothers responded to the fire of the fascists, that's against the wall which were lined with raised hands after Gelindo had greeted the women and said he could not resist anymore and agreed to surrender and then try to run, and Aldo had said that they were all quiet, he would take responsibility for all and remained so even though six of them shot him in the continuation of the campaign, the story of the seven Stags took all here, on this farm, on this earth. "(Italo Calvino)
In a ' yard of a country house, under a barn or a barn, you could tell this story, the sacrifice of a family of Reggio Emilia united like the fingers of one hand. So emblematic for its tragic outcome, one of the Bucks, is the story of many families of Emilia, a couple people that political awareness and social-oriented principles of solidarity and humanity, in a process of emancipation that began in late 1800 and is manifested by anti-fascism and the Resistance. But what makes the story unusual is the vitality of the Bucks that can be seen, the courage, the capacity for initiative, intelligence, wit, the climate of joy with which the family lived from the beginning to the end of his tragedy . We started
orality of the narrative, as if by word of mouth, we did "filos" the straw, under the vaults of the stable. We met a great wealth of situations, many figures seemed to come to us and send a special energy epic. To give life to the story, the words of Margaret's books and Alcide Cervi, the vision of the letters, documents and objects of the Museum, the writings of scholars and politicians. The work, however, took heart and strength owing to eyewitness accounts and stories, like those of Maria Cervi, daughter of Antenor. The viewpoint of the narrators on stage is respectively the male and female, as if each time the men were talking, Alcide father and his children, or women of the family, mother and daughters Genevieve, always present, sometimes more quiet, but ready to sacrifice and continuity of life, without losing the sense of things, feelings, and perhaps even of history.
research on the word which mingles with the music from which it receives power and feeling. The notes accompanying the show are inspired by the events narrated, drawing on influences from contemporary music and back in time, the tradition of the Violins of Santa Vittoria. Since 1700, in fact, in the lowlands of Reggio Emilia, some seasonal workers devoted themselves during the dead time of field work, dance music, creating an original style, thanks to the mixture of traditions in this area are met: the Austrian music, to the Hungarians and Jews. Holiday music, vitality, movimento, come nell’imbandigione di pastasciutta che la famiglia offre a tutto il paese per festeggiare il crollo del regime, all’indomani del 25 luglio 1943.
A un uomo che domanda come si possa prevenire la guerra, Virginia Woolf, nel libro Le tre ghinee, risponde: “Occorre narrare biografie”. Quasi a suggerire che, nell’imminenza di una guerra e perciò di migliaia di morti, l’antidoto migliore è quello di raccontare delle storie di vita, dell’unicità insostituibile di quelle vite, patrimoni che possono essere perduti per sempre. Nel nostro percorso di ricerca, mentre ancora raccogliamo i fili di questa storia, ci sentiamo di dire, con Maria Cervi, che ciò che più we miss today, they are: Gelindo, Antenor, Aldo, Ferdinand, Augustine, Ovid, Hector. Watching them check behind the willows, from the fields, all seven with scythes on their shoulders, ready to unroll their miracle of humanity.
