"The tragically familiar account of the thousands of migrants who, setting out on broken-down and improvised boats from the shores of northern Africa, fail to make it to the coast of Europe and are swallowed by the Mediterranean Sea ..."--Page 110. "First performed on July 10, 2010, at Teatro Rasi in Ravenna, Italy."--Page [15]. "In its first founding manifestoes of the 1980s, Teatro delle Albe defined itseld as 'Politttttttical Theatre,' with seven t's, to declare with irreverent irony its distance from the era's reigning, ideologically musclebound political theatre ... This heretical approach to politically committed theatre carries on in Rumore di acque, the monologue composed in 2010 by Teatro delle Albe's playwright and director, Marco Martinelli."--Back cover.
