Concertino dal Balconcino *Ottobre 04

The days grow shorter, the woods change their scent, and the animals go into hibernation—or, if they can, they migrate. And us? When the Sunday-afternoon air turns crisper, we draw even closer together, discovering that autumn in the courtyard is far more beautiful than summer.

Guests scheduled to appear:
Neon Strays, alternative rock band
MCCS, punk-opera band
Hook In The Ears, “ciao-ciao” DJ
Carlo Molinaro, romantic poet
Andrea Gruccia, ecstatic poet
Mamme In Piazza, citizens’ committee

Sunday, October 4, at 6:00 p.m.
Teatro urbano 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 intentions and vocal registers. It is punk-opera, inspired by the best-known genre of rock opera, in which every song tells a story and every live performance is 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 theater and their home balcony into a stage. For one hour every Sunday afternoon, they created an unprecedented cultural experiment—a genuine urban-art hub called Concertino dal Balconcino.

Over the course of fifteen years, they have performed more than 700 concerts, involving over 2,000 artists and 80,000 spectators.
