After a dissertation gone wrong, a philosopher/musician and a hairdryer (FON in Italian!) present themselves to an audience to defend their thesis:

He, in fact, is a She!

This is how Delirio SinFONico opens: a show, a lecture, a concert that stages a revisitation of the feminist theses of the 1970s in an ironic and light-hearted way.

Voice is Woman!

An issue that challenges the patriarchy.
The hairdryer and Berrafato build a set of toilet paper: rolls of words unable to express emotions.

Giulia Grassi represents the Voice, without a connection to the story, but constantly in contact with it. Voice is Woman: it is pure emotion, freedom and inspiration, while Words – which explain, define and cage – are the result of a culture declined by men.

How then to return to pure sound?

By transforming the audience into a SinFONic Orchestra of onomatopoeic sounds that take us back to childhood, to play, to sharing.

Delirio SinFONico is a participatory experience, a delirious and explosive lecture, guided by live music of accordion and voices, a constant dialogue with the audience and the unfailing buzz of the FON.
