The work
The work “Ignoble death of Bruno D. Oratorio for ten voices (plus one) on the disasters of war” tells of a dark episode of the Second World War that occurred in the Brescia valleys, discovered among the papers of an archive, triggers a narrative process that revolves around the execution of a soldier of the National Republican Guard hanged for a minor crime. Protagonists and witnesses, imaginary or real, of the tragic end of Bruno D. tell, each with their own language and from their own point of view, a tragic page of the war in our country. The result is an oratory with many voices, a question to the consciences of yesterday and today, a painful and dramatic indictment against the disasters of war, of all wars.
