Concertino dal Balconcino *Novembre 08

The second Sunday of a crisp November, the Balconcino is at its best when the light fades and the music takes over. The distinguished guests on Sunday, November 8, will be the Mandolla duo, with a program blending folk and electronic music. The second distinguished guest will be fantasy essayist Lucas Perello, who will present his latest book, *Chaos and the Ether*. Also featured will be the punk-lirico sounds of MCCS, the poetry of Carlo Molinaro, sounds from outer space by Hook in the Ears, and the concerns of the citizens’ committee Mamme in Piazza per la libertà di dissenso (“Mothers in the Square for the Freedom to Dissent”).

Sunday, November 8, 5:00 p.m.

A punk writer and an opera singer founded a band unlike any other: 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, in which 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 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 fifteen years, they have performed more than 700 concerts, involving over two thousand artists and 80,000 spectators.
