It is titled "From the Inside Outside," the new show of Gen Verde, which will be held on Dec. 29 at 8:30 p.m. and Dec. 30, 2018 at 3 p.m., as an Italian premiere, at the Loppiano Auditorium.
The band's show, after Luxembourg and England, returns home to the International Citadel (locality of Loppiano, Incisa), where the artists live and compose their songs. It is here that their latest album, from which the concert is also inspired, "From the Inside Outside," was born.
"In this new work, we wanted to tell the story of the strength that each person carries within him or her, which is found by digging deep within," says Nancy Uelmen, the group's composer. "To do this, we drew on our own experiences and also those of those who have inspired us over time, making us better people. The new show is an invitation to tap into the great potential that everyone possesses, to become, together, builders of fraternity and peace around us: starting from our inner selves to go outward."
Forgiveness, racism, migration, these are some of the strong themes touched on in their latest record production, along with the many hardships that many young people experience today: bullying, lack of hope, the difficult search for one's identity and addictions of all kinds. Over everything, however, wins one certainty, experienced in their daily lives and in their encounters with so many people around the world: "There is hope, despite everything!"
And this hope is entrusted to each person: each person carries within him or her treasures that he or she often does not know he or she has, which come to them from above and from deep within, and which, if shared, become positive engines Of change, of fraternity. Gen Verde's new concert is, therefore, an invitation to find the light within oneself and then turn it on in one's surroundings.
"We have noticed that during our concerts young people identify with the stories we tell. We believe that this effect is also the result of the work that, since 2014, we have been doing with the "Start Now" project., a workshop for dialogue and unity that brings together singing, dance, theater and percussion, dedicated specifically to young people who, at the end of the course, perform with us in concert," says Raiveth Banfield, one of the voices of the group.
The show-which is part of Figline and Incisa Valdarno's Christmas events program-is designed for everyone, with impactful videos that continually transform the environments and atmospheres, powerful and energetic arrangements, choreography capable of engaging even the most demanding audience, and sounds that are a melting pot of electronic, rock, K-pop and ethnic, the result of the band's multicultural nature.
