BLACK SWANS

YOU MAY SAY I'M A DREAMER

BUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE

(JOHN LENNON)

THE BLACK SWANS PROJECT

The soul and its voice, the music, are immortal.  The sounds of nature, those of an instrument and the human voice will therefore always be present in our lives.  

 

The soul is love and manifests itself through music to talk to all living beings.  His language and message are universal and cross our hearts, filling them with joy, hope, courage, sweet nostalgia, energy, wonder, amazement, enchantment, determination, emotion, in short, everything that it concerns the sphere of emotions and feelings and which manage to unite all of us like a magical glue, in the various moments of life, always and everywhere.

 

Music has no barriers of any kind.  No colors, borders, races, ideologies, differences of any kind and to make his message truly universal, just entrust it to a voice and a melody, whether through a single instrument or a large orchestra .

When it reaches one person's heart, it can echo throughout the universe.

 

This project is the desire to demonstrate, once again, how great is the meaning, the value, the power of LOVE, the deepest human feeling.

This message is entrusted to those who represent it most of all, among human beings, children because children are made of the same substance as the soul, they are free and pure.

 

Soul-Love-Music-Children, this is the magical red thread of this message.

 

I will work hard to obtain this result, seriously with absolute transparency and professionalism, the same that I have always had as a record company for multinationals, and then in the project of my Karibu Onlus, this small and almost anonymous association born to be like a small bee, which spends his life to keep alive the great biological cycle that affects the whole planet.

 

I have been living in Africa for 13 years and I help children by providing them with a free education so that they have a possibly different future.

In the schools that I built in 13 years I have included music lessons because I want to continue doing what I have always loved, sought and passed on to others in my life, music.

 

So I created a small choir of 20 students and the name is BLACK SWANS.

The Black Swan is a special swan.

He lives secluded, it is difficult to see him and his sudden appearance is synonymous with events that could somehow change the life of the earth or of human beings.

For my choir I created this recording project and our motto takes up a sentence from the text of IMAGINE, one of the many masterpieces of the great John Lennon, to make it a mission.

Obviously Africa is everywhere, in the sound atmospheres, rhythms and choral parts of most of the compositions.

In the lyrics, we tell the story of man's growth through Love, our first nourishment, in all its expressions.

THE ARTISTIC PROJECT

Even if entrusting a message of love through children should always happen, the project foresees, for now, only 2 annual editions, with the same characteristics but with different artists for each year.

 

 

The songs will be unreleased and some will be dialogues between two or more singers.

We will invite very young singers from all continents between the ages of 9 and 15.

They will be chosen after a long search, which has already begun, among the "TALENT" programs from all over the world but restricting the search only to the editions of the last 2 years.

We will also invite well-known Italian artists, ballets and actors.

SYNAPSE

 

THE GUARDIAN

 

An Enlightened One of the Heavens, Sugarwel, is in his last exam to pass to the higher category. He has been invited to present himself on planet Earth, a planet he knows, knows that it is inhabited by men but that he has never visited.

He shows up at the established time in the place they have indicated to him, a small dark pitch in the middle of a beautiful park.

He is sitting on a bench (called of Knowledge), near a fountain (called of Love) and waits. And here comes  a little girl, she sings a sad song but full of love. At the sight of Sugarwel he stops singing and sits next to Sugarwel and, after a short dialogue, they will eventually sing together.

Then the little girl has to go home but asks Sugarwel to come back the next day to sing the same song together again. The girl leaves. 

At that point a voice speaks to him, it is the voice of the Supreme Judge. 

In the conversation he has with the Supreme Judge, Sugarwel learns that this exam consists of telling how to fight evil and take care of all the children of this planet called Earth. 

The correct answer will allow him to access the next level. 

Left alone Sugarwel resumes singing. 

Immediately afterwards the three Supervisor angels arrive, his guides to let him know closely what these suffering children are.

Before starting, they drink plenty of water from the fountain and invite Sugarwel to do the same.

 

 

Those present at the meeting are: 

Foodwel          _cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_Enlightened Hunger

Warwel.          _cc781905-5cde -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Illuminated of Wars

Mercywel          Illuminato della Pietà

 

After their personal presentation it is decided that each of them will accompany Sugarwel in their sphere of competence.

During the visit Sugarwel will only have to observe and possibly dialogue, but  only with the accompanying Supervisor, not with the children. 

Sugarwel, at the end of the journey, will thus be able to discover what is hidden behind the world of childhood / adolescents in order to be able to give the valid answer to pass the exam.

At this point the Supervisors leave the scene and Sugarwel prepares to leave when he hears the Voice of the Judge again. He speaks to him with infinite sweetness and warns him that there are very few who manage to pass this last exam._cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_

Children are the favorite victim of Evil and it is on children that the fight gets tougher 

Children are the men of the future and therefore evil needs to "educate" them from an early age so that they are ready at a mature age. 

Before leaving, the Supreme Justice reminds Sugarwel to always drink water from a drinking fountain, wherever you find one.

Left alone and thinking on the platform, he senses the presence of someone and, half hidden in the darkness of the scene, Lucifer can be glimpsed. He begins his monologue, sung, to convince Sugarwel to leave because this is his favorite territory and he doesn't want intrusions. He leaves without even waiting for Sugarwel's reaction

Sugarwel, annoyed but determined to continue with the exam mission, sits on the bench and sings. Finally, the Supervisor of Hunger arrives and begins the journey that will touch the three spheres of relief, Hunger, War and Manipulation.

Throughout the journey Sugarwel realizes more and more, step by step, that it is very difficult to pass this exam. 

Furthermore, every time he goes to face a different world, Lucifer faces him trying to make him give up, to abandon this exam and every time he does it in an increasingly bloody way. But he, incredibly, has more and more energy to face and overcome every confrontation with Lucifer and his temptations.

Inevitably however, once the journey is over, Sugarwel is exhausted, grieved, incredulous. He drinks from the fountain and relaxes on the bench next to the fountain. 

The Supreme Judge speaks to him and asks him for an answer.

Sugarwel, sits down and with his head in his hands replies desolately that it seems to him really impossible to pass this exam because he has seen, he has cried and he has suffered in seeing how much agony and how much pain men, guided by evil, are able to conceive against the children. 

Then, standing up abruptly, he confesses that he is no longer interested in passing the exam. 

In a desperate, heartfelt way, with eyes filled with a light of immense Love and kneeling down, she implores the Supreme Judge so that he can remain forever with the children and face with them, day by day, the evil that all these tremendous sufferings cause to children . 

And so the Supreme Judge replies: You don't have to beg me for something you've already earned. In fact what you are asking me is the exact answer to pass the exam. So, your prayer entitles you to just what you begged me to have, to stay with the kids forever, because the kids need you and your kind. A lot of Love and Passion to make them grow well until they become healthy and upright men. For this reason all children, then men, need their personal Guardian Angel, faithful and safe companion, the only one ready to defend their purity, in any case and against everything and everyone, above all in the eternal challenge against Evil._cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_

Before leaving him, he reminds him again to drink the water from the fountain every morning, it is the water that he gives to all men. 

It is His infinite Love, it flows pure and nourishing for man to drink from it and for anyone to drink from it. And it is also very good for the Angels. I will watch over you and your new life. Sugarwel weeps for joy. 

At this point Lucifer shows up again and tries, for the last time, to tempt him in a hard and obsessive way but, at the height of his violent singing, a very strong light comes on with a frightening roar and all the_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_ protagonists appear singing in chorus.

Lucifer despairs in an absolutely unpredictable way, collapsing to the ground.

When the chorus ends, the light fades and the little girl enters hopping, approaches the bench where Sugarwel lies exhausted and as she shakes him awake she says:

-Hello you!! Do you sleep? Shall we sing today too? You start this time, ok? 

Sugarwel gets up slowly and tenderly embraces the little girl then begins to sing, the lights slowly go out while they continue singing towards the exit of the scene.

 

PERSONAGES

 

Sugarwel

The main character, eager to pass each level, sure of his strength, his courage. He is an atypical Illuminati, against the tide, a bit naive and gruff to look at; above all convinced of always succeeding in enterprises and does not fear the bloodiest struggle just to continue on his ambitious path. But now he has to face two great forces, Evil and incredibly himself. 

Yes, because, even if he resists Lucifer with difficulty, he loses the confrontation with himself because he gives in to the deep and unexpected love for that pure and free but so often defenseless universe that represents children. He has no doubts and his choice is total without realizing that the real goal to reach was precisely the renunciation of continuing and the awareness of having found a greater purpose to which to commit oneself. 

 

SUPERVISORS 

They are high-level Illuminati who each control all spheres of humanity in fall due to the manipulation with which Lucifer is terribly skilled in conquering his victims. 

They control and intervene only when situations get complicated to the point that not even the Illuminati Guardians are able to stem the violent offensive of Lucifer and his rebel hosts. 

 

LUCIFER 

It's EVIL and that's enough...but it has a surprise in store for us

 

THE SUPREME JUDGE

The GOD of all

THE THEATER PERFORMANCE FOR CHRISTMAS 2025

ON THE ROAD TO JERUSALEM

What will the world be like in 2222? 

Will we be the same as always, will we be better, will we be people who wander around other planets in search of space to conquer or will we be a humanity subjected to a single central command that manages the life of each of us, without more stimuli, values and principles?

No one can say, many hazard predictions, most of them are catastrophic since the Corona Virus appeared but they are only hypotheses. The truth is that no one can know and I therefore prefer to think that the center of the universe will continue to be Man thanks to his bond with God, whatever God is, it doesn't matter.

The direct contact between the Soul and God will always allow man to develop and grow, even if it will always happen in the midst of torments, doubts, conflicts, rebellions, selfishness, barbarism. Man has created millenary civilizations, full of Light, Culture, Knowledge, Man made of Reason and Feeling, Intelligence and Courage, has overcome any obstacle. And he will continue to do so only if he never loses his bond with God. Man, despite being born and dying, will never stop growing and will be a man who will live and work so that everything starts again as before, if it takes millennia, as it has been for we. That man will start again with the same desire to live, to grow, to discover, to rejoice, to fight, to love as it has always been, in all living beings, practically everything on which our wonderful and unique planet. 

Our history is the path of a search, from the Bottom to the Top, a perpetual path and I can't imagine it any different, not even in a thousand years.

 

The year that we represent in this work still breathes and lives on everything that has always kept us company in human history, material things will change their appearance and will have new functions but what is in man and belongs to man, that eternal connection with the Divine, he will always be the same, always ready to remind us that everything is possible for us thanks to our ability to love and be loved in return.

POPI FABRIZIO

I'm a lucky man because I've always had the opportunity to do what I wanted, in search of the true meaning with which to fill my life.

That doesn't mean it was easy, no really; but calculating between what I gave and what I received, I can well say that the balance is positive.

 

A happy and carefree childhood in an uncontaminated and peaceful Milanese suburb, an adolescence full of projects made with close friends, fun work, well-being, the desired family, music, day and night, successes and many satisfactions, among which the privilege of working with the best artist of all time, the courage to change everything, the happiness of giving, a great love for life, the constant presence of God, everywhere around me and within me.

 

And it's not over yet, no, there's still to be done before I feel satisfied, before I can say that I've found and given real meaning to my life.

Indeed, my journey on this wonderful planet will continue forever on the wings of my African dream.

KARIBU ONLUS 

www.lakaribu.com

The small non-profit association that I created to make my great African dream come true.

With her and through her I let myself be carried away by Destiny in Africa, specifically in Kenya and I started, step by step, to realize my project. It was 2007.

 

Today, the schools and everything I've built have been absorbed by the Ministry of Education but continue to be led by me and Karibu Onlus.

There are 504 students who attend schools for free and the first part of the promise made to those people, and to myself, is complete.

 

Now is the time to take care of the adults of the Kibora Community, the boundless and lonely savannah area where I found a little paradise on the bank of a river, it's time for health, work, welfare, economic development.

The goal is to transfer to the Community the necessary knowledge and the means to guide the development of the project on their own.

I will still remain with them, with a loving and attentive gaze.

WE NEVER LOSE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAVE TRACES OF LOVE ALONG OUR PATH
