Force Majeure is her highly anticipated album, with a musical and theatrical project debuting in Florence at Cinema La Compagnia—the album is due for release this spring. The theme of the work is the struggle between light and darkness, between good and bad. A true performer, there will be visual art elements in the form of projections and Daelen Cory from Los Angeles, who will be Sabina’s shadow on stage, dressed in a black suit. “He’s a metaphor, the shadow projecting the light, almost like how Lucifer was actually an angel and bringer of light who fell into the abyss, or Goethe’s Faust, who says ‘I’m a part of that spirit who always tries to do evil but always ends up doing good’. I see the shadow as symbolizing fear and worry, while light epitomizes hope."
The impressive and intriguing costumes were created by Maria Sole Ferragamo with bespoke wearable artistic leather accessories.
Recorded at Officina Sonora Bigallo, the album includes two songs featuring the International School of Florence’s Cantabile Choir, headed up by Tanja Kustrin, and Sabina’s own children. With many mystical elements, Sabina’s spirituality is also present in the “message that light should always be what guides you, your guiding source”. She’ll be joined onstage by top-class musicians Riccardo Onori – a guitarist of Jovanotti (artistic direction and guitar), Fabrizio Rat (piano) and Lawrence Fancelli (synth and bass). Another exciting aspect of the show is the fact that Sabina plays not only the spinetta, a baroque instrument, but also “plays her own voice” using drumsticks on an electronic drum pad into which she has fed her own voice.
