Rumore di acque is a new project, a black humour monologue by Ravenna-born playwright Marco Martinelli. A mysterious small island lost in that portion of Mediterranean between Europe and Africa that has been the scene of a devastating tragedy for 15 years – on this volcanic, bubbling strip of land, adrift like a raft, only one man lives, a General with demonic features and sparkling eyes. In agreement with an equally mysterious Ministry of Hell, he practices a “policy of acceptance”: the small island is haunted by the invisible ghosts of the dead, the lost at sea, the outcasts. The General welcomes and stows them in his island-raft, each of them is a “number”: lives and deaths are but mere statistics. The General’s rigmarole resounds of the voices of those invisible characters.
