Raffaella Carrà, an Italian musical will be staged around the world

An Italian musical about Raffaella Carrà will be staged all over the world. It is the one produced by Valeria Arzenton, former founder of the Zed Live group, one of the largest companies organizing live concerts in Italy, who just a few days before the death of the great Raffaella had reached an agreement to transform the film “Ballo Ballo – Explota Explota ”, produced in 2020 by the Spanish / Uruguayan film production company Tornasol SL. “Right now I am particularly shocked by the disappearance of this Great Woman and Artist – says Arzenton – this project had to be a living celebration and not a posthumous memory. At Christmas I was struck by the film ‘Ballo Ballo’ because the story is beautiful, a timeless fairytale and shows the strength of passions, capable of creating real revolutions. Just like Carrà, a strong and counter-current woman, always at the forefront and above prejudices. Today more than ever we feel the weight and the honor of representing a musical work that will have to celebrate for generations the music and vitality of Raffaella Carrà “.” The musical will be the first in Italy produced by a woman – underlines Arzenton – just as the film was directed by the Uruguayan producer Mariela Besuievsky and taking him on stage around the world will surely be the best way to pay homage to a great artist, who was an icon, a myth, an inspiration for me as well as for many people in the world – concludes Arzenton -. With her class and irony she has ferried the femininity and mentality of an entire country from a bigoted Italy to modernity and transversality, embodying the spirit of a free, determined woman who pursues her dreams: this is why every Italian woman he can at least partially identify with her. His songs are the soundtrack of our Italian spirit. “” Ballo Ballo – Explota Explota Musical “is an international pan-European project, which involves the involvement of leading Italian, Spanish and Dutch production companies (including Tornasol SL, Sunset Ent SL, Mas Srl, Dreamcatcher BV) and will debut simultaneously in several states in 2022. The international cast is open for the selection of young talents who will participate in the various editions, “finding in the world a protagonist capable of embodying the spirit of Raffaella will be a great and exciting challenge “.
