Pink Floyd (tributo- wish you were here)

WISH YOU WERE HERE
A concert to celebrate 50 years of a Pink Floyd masterpiece
A show to celebrate the wild genius of Syd Barrett

Project and direction: Marco Rampoldi
Dramaturgy: Paola Ornati

The group of young musicians, originally gathered to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Dark Side of the Moon, returns for the fiftieth anniversary of the following masterpiece, Wish You Were Here, an album dedicated to Syd Barrett, founder and first leader of Pink Floyd, who was forced to leave the band due to his decline linked to a schizoid disorder and drug abuse.

The show is based on a full performance of the album but also includes narrative fragments about Barrett’s relationship with the rest of the band, performed by Matteo Pisu, who was previously the ‘Lunatic’ in Dark Side 50.

The result is a complete theatrical-musical show, allowing those unfamiliar with the Floyd masterpiece to discover its greatness, and those who love it to appreciate new perspectives. Original footage with full translations of the lyrics allows the audience to fully understand their meaning.

In addition to the album, some highlights from the ‘Barrett period’ and essential masterpieces of the band are performed, creating a show that thrills every spectator.
