There's an imaginary train that crosses the world, connecting Italy with Chile. The train of desires passes through Florence, Rome, Bucharest, and Berlin, and at each stop, someone boards. On this magical train, Florentine singer-songwriter Giulio Wilson and writer Federico Bonadonna meet Jorge and Marcelo Coulon, founders of the Chilean band Inti Illimani. Through a kaleidoscope of songs and memories, the four recount, through music and (few) words, the group's sixty years of activity: from their first album in 1967 to "Agua," recorded with the Florentine singer-songwriter, through Violeta Parra and Victor Jara, from the 1973 coup to their exile and their return to their homeland. In this theatrical performance, the train of emotions takes us on the wings of the condor across the Andes, where ancient pre-Columbian instruments such as panpipes, the rondador, and the charango resonate. We then immerse ourselves in songs that have become true generational anthems: from Gracias a la vida to Vale la pena, from El Aparecido to El Pueblo Unido Jamas serà vencido.
