Concertino dal Balconcino *Novembre 15

When the afternoon light fades, the courtyard at 3 Via dei Mercanti comes alive with sound, visions, and human warmth. A small, resilient ecosystem where urban theatre meets the street, amid the scent of mulled wine and the desire to be together, eyes turned upward. Special guest, hailing directly from the Bari area, singer-songwriter Paolo Cattedra. Also featured will be the punk-lirico of MCCS, with distorted guitars and operatic high notes; the poetry of Carlo Molinaro, to stop time with words; sounds from outer space by Hook in the Ears; the fantasy essayist Lucas Perello’s minimalist wisecracks; and the advocacy of the citizens’ committee Mamme in piazza per la libertà di dissenso (“Mothers in the Square for the Freedom to Dissent”).

Sunday, November 15, at 5:00 p.m.
Urban Theatre: Concertino dal Balconcino
3 Via Mercanti, Turin
*Pay what you can

A punk writer and an opera singer founded a one-of-a-kind band: MCCS Punklirico. Distorted guitar, explosive drums, walking bass, and a voice that shifts between different moods and registers. It is punk-lirico, inspired by the best-known genre of rock opera, where every song is a story and every live performance a true spectacle. From Turin, where they live, they made national headlines with their original challenge to the system. In 2011, they transformed the courtyard of their apartment building into a small open-air theatre and their home balcony into a stage. For one hour every Sunday afternoon, they brought to life an unprecedented cultural experiment—a genuine urban-art hub called Concertino dal Balconcino. Over fifteen years, they have performed more than 700 concerts, involving over 2,000 artists and 80,000 spectators.
