by and starring Stefano Fresi, vocals and saxophone by Cristiana Polegri, guitar by Egidio Marchitelli
“Of Love, War and the Marginalised” is a musical production directed by Stefano Fresi and Cristiana Polegri. A succession of songs, reflections drawn from Faber’s diaries and original monologues that explore these three major themes so dear to the great singer-songwriter. A piano, a saxophone, a guitar and two voices. Stories of love and war. Stories of the marginalised. Thoughts, reflections and timeless songs to celebrate Faber and highlight his relevance today. (Stefano Fresi).
A singer and saxophonist in an evening gown evokes love; true love, love that has ended, the kind that drives one to do crazy things. A guitarist in military uniform recounts war – the war of a king and his romantic escapades, the war of those who go off and die, and the war of those who stay behind and weep. A singer-pianist in humble attire represents the underprivileged, the forgotten, the marginalised, with their sufferings and their moments of vindication. A piano, a saxophone, a guitar and two voices telling stories of love and war, reading real letters from the front. Stories of the marginalised, told through the words of a prostitute or an ordinary person who has chosen to recognise themselves as a human being. Thoughts, reflections and timeless songs to celebrate Faber and highlight his remarkable relevance today.
‘For me, Faber’s magic has always been his ability to paint portraits of characters who are so very different from one another without ever judging them,’ says Cristiana Polegri, adding, ‘when approaching these giants, the only way forward is to pay homage to their greatness with humility and passion. Musically, we’ve opted for simple arrangements, in keeping with the simplicity that characterises a genre of music in which the verbal message is fundamental.
