A video-show inspired by Martina Castigliani's book of the same name and Khaled Hosseini's Prayer of the Sea.

In the summer of 2022, Sanguemisto staged four performances as part of the Estate Fiorentina, intertwining theater, music, dance, and poetry to address universal themes such as war, borders, the condition of women, and migration. Through these works, the company strongly reaffirmed the duty to bear witness and to say no to war and injustice, even when it may seem a useless or idealistic gesture.

This is a dance theater performance, a first dramaturgical study in memory of Giuliano Scabia, presented as part of the "Feeding God" project.
It is a reflection inspired by the Bacchae and Dionysus, Euripides' bull-horned god. A protean deity: the god who destroys all boundaries; the god who annihilates, transforms, and empowers human interiority. Dionysus: exhilaration, contradiction, and otherness.
The contribution aims to provide an introspective analysis of the topic, but it also becomes a syncretic act of voice, movement, and percussion, expanding and embracing ritual sounds, ecstatic suggestions, and sub-Saharan spirituality.

"Lampedusa Fine Corsa" tells the story of Somali athlete Samia Yusuf Omar, a symbol of emancipation, who died in the Mediterranean while pursuing her dream of competing. Inspired by "Non dirmi che hai paura," the show combines theater, dance, and music to celebrate integration and diversity.

Uno spettacolo che omaggia Fabrizio De André e Gian Maria Testa, intrecciando musica, poesia e narrazione. Segue la storia di Samadou, giovane migrante dal Mali, in un viaggio di trasformazione ed empatia. Rivisitazione di “Sguardo Meticcio”, mira a creare un’epica moderna delle migrazioni.

Nel 2023, centenario della nascita di Don Lorenzo Milani, Sanguemisto gli dedica sei spettacoli estivi nell’ambito dell’Estate Fiorentina, affrontando temi a lui cari come la scuola, la pace, la giustizia sociale, la memoria, i diritti delle donne e l’attenzione agli ultimi. Ogni opera porta nel titolo l’espressione “Mi sta a cuore…”, riprendendo l’“I care” del Priore di Barbiana come filo conduttore e principio ispiratore.

A performance inspired by Erri De Luca's “Only Gone,” which weaves together theater, poetry, dance and music to recount the desperate journey of migrants. Through a collective and polyphonic narrative, it celebrates human strength and resilience, giving voice to the hopes and difficulties of those who cross the world in search of a better future.

A performance that explores the boundary between dream and reality, mixing poetry, music and images to tell an inner and universal journey. Through dreamlike symbols and visual suggestions, the show invites the audience to overcome their limitations and imagine new horizons.
