“Cenere” is considered as one of the most significant examples of a meeting between cinema, literature, and theater. This film, whose centenary was celebrated in 2016, has passed the concrete memory of the world’s greatest theater actress according to Charlie Chaplin: Eleonora Duse. Based on a novel by the great writer and Nobel prize Grazia Deledda, “Cenere” is the only film which Eleonora Duse played in. This film, to which Duse also collaborated for its screen adaptation, is the only existing film document of Duse’s acting art. It tells the story of a painful and difficult mother-and-son relationship in Sardinia in the beginning of the Twentieth Century.
Marcello Allulli, Giovanni Ceccarelli, and Matteo Fraboni form a trio whose features are great expressive freedom and inspired lyricism. The three artists have performed in many internationally renowned festivals and concert seasons around the world. They have performed the Live soundtrack to silent movie “Cenere” at the “European Film Festival” in Beirut, Lebanon, the Sensorium Festival in Panjim, Goa, India, the “8 1/2 Festa do Cinema Italiano” in Cascais, Portugal among others.
