The excerpts from Vladimir Nabokov’s works, translated in Italian by Margherita Crepax, are used in accordance with The Vladimir Nabokov Estate

It is a concert/installation, the last stage of the three-years project “Ada, a family chronicle” dedicated to V. Nabokov’s novel Ada or ardor, that made its début in Milano on 2006 July 13th at the Festival “La Milanesiana” directed by Elisabetta Sgarbi.
On stage five actors and two musicians performing a scoring for voices, piano and flute (or ondes Martenot), with textual and musical excerpts from other dwellings of the project “Ada, a family chronicle”, presented with new modalities: for the first time the video plays a central role in the orchestration, offering a different conceptual order.

In fact, the video-rebus realized with the cooperation of Stefano Bartezzaghi is one of the conceptual cores of “Promenada”, as a new reflection on the relationship between words and images in motion, between language and music.
