“
In the early modern age the word theatrum identified both a material and immaterial space in the performance of knowledge proving the mutual deep influence of the spaces of knowledge and the performance spaces of art. The theatrical metapher arose as powerful instrument of research and representation of knowledge as a whole. Inspired by this idea many different kinds of music will be staged besides aesthetics and historical lines with the aim to show the gorgeous infinite diversity of musical meaning”. (Stefania Amisano)
