Vinicio Capossela and his ‘Bestiary’: In time of pestilence, we must talk about love

“Today you, tomorrow me”, as the Dance macabre. While outside the epidemic evokes the medieval settings, in the beautiful Union Chapel, a church in neo-gothic style of the victorian era, holding a ritual shamanistic against the plague. The officiant is the most sacred of our artists: Vinicio Capossela . Sacred in the sense pasolini: the search of a constant and tireless advocate of a tradition that is no longer there, an ancient world where you could meet the creatures of the Dark, the world of the shadow where he could look the Beast of the grain or the Pumminale, “the werewolf with fur inside”. A unique case in the Italian music, but not only that, Capossela is not afraid to find the Man Alive or to search for the powerful symbolic charge, who owns the animal, real or imaginary, that is. This research changing job after job, while still remaining inside of this thread, is mixed with one of magic’s most powerful, that of music. This mixture, live, it becomes explosive: we have come to London to see her work.
