The trio comprising Marco Colonna, Esmeralda Sella and Francesco Cigana presents an original live musical accompaniment for the silent film ’A Santanotte (Italy, 1922) by cinema pioneer Elvira Notari. The project has been created specifically for this occasion: an open, site-specific score that engages with the film’s imagery and the tradition of the film concert.
