Teatro Grattacielo - Tableaux of Amico Fritz

USA

TAP PAINTINGS TO PLAY VIDEO

Finally, Tableaux of Amico Fritz did its debut in an online event at the city of Harrison, NY on October 26th 2021. Right after, five mini films together with a program in mobile and desktop formats have been distributed to every school around the world with a script.

Why a script? Perhaps not every teacher is comfortable talking about arts and the opera. We want to make these videos easy to use and even easier to explain. After all, part of our mission is to bring kids closer to arts and classical music.

A couple of staff members are ready to jump in calls around the world to present and interact with

youth, or if a school prefers, they have the script to work with. I know that some of you had school suggestions especially in the Philippines and Europe. Happy to get in contact with any school you might suggest.

Let me walk you through the project:

Every mini film starts with a word. This word is put there to give a hint of what the scene is about but also to start a conversation.

For example: the first film starts with the word Earthiness. Big point of conversation especially when it come to our connection to Earth. The five mini films touch subjects such as: Spirituality, Traditions, Transitions and the power of Love (of any kind)

Then the film presents Lolita’s painting with details. This painting is the connection between the word and the scene which is about the begin. Again, this could be a point of conversation/interaction or just a moment to get to know the artist, in this case Lolita Valderrama Savage.

The film starts with subtitles. At the end of the film there is a detail of Lolita’s painting and the end titles. Along with this text is our program in mobile and desktop versions. https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/622913296/942d597c09 I hope you will all enjoy our educational mini films.
