Back on stage, this time at the LAC, Vorrei una voce (I Want a Voice) by and starring Tindaro Granata, a monologue based on the Sicilian actor and author's encounters with female inmates in Messina's high-security prison, who recount their lives through songs by Mina.

Strongly inspired by Granata's long theatrical career at the Piccolo Shakespeare theatre inside the Messina prison with the high-security women's section, Vorrei una voce was created thanks to the project Il Teatro per Sognare (Theatre for Dreams), conceived and organised by Daniela Ursino, artistic director of the prison theatre.

Mina's songs, which Granata performs in playback, become the stuff of dreams, belong to the collective memory of all of us and have proved to be ideal material for working with non-professionals.

The focus of the play is dreams: losing the ability to dream means losing a part of oneself. Vorrei una voce is dedicated to those who have lost this ability.

Granata gives body and voice to a completely new theatrical project, which tells what its author and protagonist himself has described as “a meeting of souls in a very special place”.
