Roberta Vacca
Music
Spring 2021
Pianist, Composer – Italy
Roberta Vacca will work on Ego Te Absolvo, a musical theater act for an actress, a dancer, a cello, and electronic sound. Based on a text by Cinzia Della Ciana, the piece is inspired by the quarrel between Pope Celestine V and Dante Alighieri on the misunderstanding generated from the verse of the third canto of Dante's Inferno "He, who made through cowardice the great refusal". This project celebrates both Dante's 700th anniversary and the “Perdonanza Celestiniana” (Celestinian Forgiveness), a holy event established in 1294 by Pope Celestine V and held in L'Aquila, Vacca’s hometown.
