La città incantata

SPIRITED AWAY draws strong inspiration not only from the plot of Hayao Miyazaki’s animated masterpiece of the same name, but also from the range of messages conveyed by all its images, seeking to recreate for the stage the bizarre and wonderful world that the author designed with such mastery.
The idea of a musical performance stems from the desire to reinterpret the film through a medium other than animation: a theatrical set design that attempts to explore the forms and atmospheres of the Japanese master’s film.

Drawing remains the primary tool in this communicative process, a form of drawing that seeks to give all the structural elements and materials used the magic that only a live performance can convey through its unique relationship with the actors and the audience.
