Per terre lontane

The languages of music, dance and acting draw one into an engaging journey through the life of St. G. B. Scalabrini, alternating between laughter, moments of reflection and a few tears.

A varied rhythm that allows the viewer to learn more about the Apostle of Migrants, who embodied through his concrete work the values of welcome, love of neighbor, humility, and commitment, because “charity knows no party.”

A man as loving as he was determined, as welcoming as he was defiant, with a blind Faith in the Lord. Scalabrini’s work is clearly intertwined with history: he took on the cries for help of the Italian migrants who went, laden with hopes and illusions, to the “Promised Land,” America, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Here the performance becomes a way to keep alive the memory of that piece of history that belongs to so many of us and is not foreign to any people, to any historical era: memento nos omnes migrantes.
