The new public work by Marinella Senatore: Modica Street Musical – The Present, the Past and the Possible, is a 4hours long musical travelling around the city of Modica, with two ACTS and an INTERMEZZO, The musical is en- tirely composed and interpreted with the collaboration of over a hundred inhabitants of Modica and the surrounding area. Modica Street Musical is inspired by public ceremonies, the civil and religious rituals of the Italian tradition, and festivals and mass events, interweaving this intangible heritage with the format of the street musical.
Modica Street Musical weaves together some of the formats used by Senatore in the past – from the cinema set to the theatre production, passing through the school of narrative dance for non professionals – in order to reflect on the political nature of collective formations and on their impact on the social history of places and communities. Forms of protest by oppressed minorities re-emerge from the past of Sicily in the guise of music, choreographies and storytell- ing, to merge with the repertoires of bands, groups and other collective creations troupes composed by younger gen- erations. The exchange between the legacy and the present is built through a new popular vocabulary that brings the musical back to its origins: a 19th Century North American society show genre for lower classes. The migrants, coming from the most diverse origins, in fact, found in this genre the chance to give form to a theatre of revolt that could speak emphatically to the biggest number of people, creating inclusion, avoiding higher culture codes and articulating ideas of emancipation and common good among working class people. In the same way the Modica Street Musical seamlessly juxtaposes classical music pieces and pop songs, engaged theatre and entertainment, mass movements and ballet choreographies.
