“Black Stones” is the show with Enrico Castellani, Valeria Raimondi, Francesco Alberici and with Orlando Castellaniproduced by Babylon Theaters and the Hospital Court in co-production with Operaestate Festival Veneto, the result of the investigation conducted in the Asti area within Casa Mondo, the winning project of the Art Waves tender by Compagnia San Paolo. For the creation of Casa mondo Enrico Castellani and Valeria Raimondi, with the artistic collaboration of Francesco Alberici, invited five artists to create a work. Each of them was asked to choose a place of investigation so that on the basis of knowledge and encounter an artistic work could be returned, with the aim of giving life to a theatrical show within which the materials received are voices, sounds, images capable of nourishing the composition and reflection on the concept of home starting from the places that, in the eyes of most, are not homes: retirement homes, family homes, prisons, hospitals, streets, reception centers .
«“Black stones” it strips and centrifuges our idea of home […] it is home in all its infinite variations. / Personal and social. / Intimate and public», write Babilonia Teatri in the director’s notes.
Thus the critic Graziano Graziani (“Minima & Moralia”) on the show: «“Pietre Nere” is a real investigation, carried out in the territory of Asti, and as often happens with the theater of Babilonia, it has the quality of precisely targeting the hot issues that agitate the conscious and unconscious of our contemporaneity. It is an operation that the Veronese duo – which is rare in the theatrical panorama – practically always succeeds, thanks to a writing that brings together profound reflections and lists of stock phrases, intimate thoughts and collective thoughts, pop drifts and evocation of conflict, in a synthesis that is at the same time personal and political. “Pietre Nere” is no exception, a reflection born from the changed perception triggered by the pandemic, but with a decidedly broader gaze and scope».
