Signorine Grandi Firme

A musical journey into Fashion through pop songs Text and narrator: Alessandra Lepri Live performance: Trio Alicanto A show halfway between talk show and theater, made of “trendy” songs that tell the History of Costume with a musical trio and narrator, all female.

A story made of small and big stories, sewn on the notes and lyrics of the songs, covers of songs from the past, some of which are very well known, arranged and harmonized by the musicians. A journey through anecdotes and curiosities, crystallized in eleven songs performed live. Each song is a photograph, light and incisive, of a historical period, of a fashion, of a whim, of a social transformation.

There are songs in our Italian repertoire, that tell interesting stories and make a dress the protagonist, decisive for the content. Fashion and Music in fact have many things in common, they outline the evolution of time, they speak through images, concrete or figurative, they communicate taste, culture, the description of social roles. In the songs you can feel the flow of History, which leaves traces in the clothes and in the conception of the dressed "body", in the transformation of aesthetic canons. Many items of clothing have profound meanings, symbols and represent conquests, eras, currents of thought, professions, roles.
