Il suono dell’acqua e della terra
(The Sound of Water and Earth)
VOICE, ACTUALLY
CARLA REGINA
Have you ever dreamed of gazing at the sea among ancient olive trees while, in the distance, a tarantella echoes through the air?
Stichting Voice, Actually presents a unique music theatre performance featuring 7 musicians on stage, live visuals, singing, poetry, and folk music from Southern Italy, Albania, Greece, and the Mediterranean area: “The Sound of Water and Earth.”
At the heart of the performance is Carla Regina — Italian mezzo-soprano, actress, and theatre maker — known for her theatre career, television appearances, and her role as one of the most recognizable operatic voices within the Italian community in the Netherlands.
With her powerful voice and intense stage presence, she takes the audience on a poetic and passionate journey between water and earth, memory and ritual.
Expect hypnotic tarantellas, intimate traditional songs, theatrical imagery, and a sensory experience where music, storytelling, and Mediterranean energy come together.
A living journey through the musical soul of Southern Europe.
Come and discover the sound of water and earth!
