Beyond the wall …

The experience of the theatrical-musical performance “Beyond the wall” constituted an interesting interdisciplinary work of historical research and knowledge focused on the school’s role during the period of the racial laws, widened and contextualized to current issues. The students expressed a message of peace and hope through music, a Jewish song and a Rap piece.

Work tools

The spaces used to carry out the activities were the normal classrooms where the students carried out researches and wrote lyrics. The use of an IWB and of a PC was indispensable in order to search for sources, documents, to listen to songs and view dances, to research backing tracks for the rap and develop the rap lyrics. Whereas, for the rehearsals and recording we used the school’s Auditorium.
