Gianmarco Moneti takes you on a journey in this piano concert through the story of Clara, one of his dearest friends. On March 22, 2022, Clara lost her father – he chose to end his life. A tragic moment, incomprehensible for many. Asking questions is difficult because you are afraid they may be inappropriate. And that creates a gap between mourning and compassion. 

Using Clara’s own words, inspiring visual elements, and the music of three composers, Gianmarco brings her emotions to life: anger, dissociation, and loneliness. Presented through Gianmarco's eyes, he attempts to bridge the gap between mourning and compassion. Because only when we open ourselves to each other, we need never stand alone in this.
