To recount certain events in life, theater alone may not be enough: what’s needed is a magical act, a ritual capable of transforming the stage into a bridge between life and death, through sleight of hand and grand illusions.
Abracadabra
is a magical, fairy-tale-like, and arcane word—a spell that can make the invisible appear.
Babilonia Teatri presents a magic show that takes the audience by the hand and guides them into territories we often tend to flee from, asking how to come to terms with illness, whether and how we process grief, and whether the dead can speak.
On stage, a real magician becomes a conduit to the afterlife, allowing us to name the unspeakable and touch the impossible through the voice of Francesco Scimemi, a professional magician for thirty years, who, suspended between two worlds, evokes his late wife by traversing the realms of the tragic, the grotesque, and the poetic.
