In addition, a “transformation” of the Teatro Valli is planned to allow the public a greater enjoyment of the show. The architectural details of the instrument, filmed by cameras, are projected in live video on large surfaces of the theater between the stage and the audience, a space in which the public can dispose and move freely. The images are displayed on the surfaces of the hall, covered with large white tulle ” screens “, and also include some internal and external details of the theatre itself.
In radically rethinking the way of living and enjoying a historically characterized environment such as the Teatro Valli in Reggio Emilia, Organo Magico Organo Laico intends to stimulate a dialectic tradition/innovation, to project the public towards new forms of scenic fruition.

The director Roberto Paci Dalò explains : “A wide and pulsating breath that comes from the instrument itself, object and subject of the work. Stage and audience merge in a single space completely transformed in its appearance, function, atmosphere; the public can move freely.
The sound of the organ expands among the audience and invests it with its image projected on large screens/walls that reorganize the articulation of the space; the amplification is enveloping and reverberates in the new acoustically uneven environment. Through the nine world premiere compositions, mirroring the sensibilities and expressive moods of their authors, and the special set conceived ad hoc by Andi Toma of Mouse on Mars, the organ becomes a “character”, enters the scene, a monologue and a dialogue, acts, whispers, wins, invests senses and fragments of life. An organ in theatre, a secular organ, a magic organ”. The Ensemble Icarus performs the music.
