A year and a half after the forced interruption of his last tour due to health problems, Angelina Mango is ready to return to the stage. The singer-songwriter is preparing for a new theater tour, which will start on March 2 from the Teatro Augusteo in Naples. An eagerly awaited return, which arrives after a long recording and public break, interrupted only last October 16th by the surprise release of the album caramel.
This is not a simple return. It is a reconquest, a new beginning that the artist herself wanted to tell with an intense and vulnerable letter, published on her social channels on the eve of the first date.
Angelina's letter: “What really hurts is not feeling free”
With a disarming sincerity, Angelina Mango he shared with his fans the mixed emotions he is experiencing these days. A mixture of joy, tears and a new awareness.
“Last night I went on stage. My stage. The one I imagined, designed and lived in with my heart until just before I had it in front of me”writes the artist. “It goes without saying how much I cried, because in recent days I think I have produced liters of tears. It's a show that isn't a show. It's beautiful. I look around, then I close my eyes and I think that there is none of this that isn't 100% me.”
Then, the deepest reflection, the one that goes to the heart of his long absence: “It's not the success, the full calendar or the stress that made me ill. What really hurts is not listening to yourself, it's not feeling free. Well, last night I felt free on that stage. I had no make-up on and I didn't give a damn if my bangs ended up in my eyes, because I was too excited!”
“I'm not going on stage, he's coming towards me”
The letter ends with an awareness that marks a real change of perspective compared to the past. A year ago, this return seemed impossible. “I didn't think I would ever go back to making music or on stage”he confesses. “Maybe the difference is that now I'm not going on stage but he's coming towards me.” A phrase that contains the meaning of a path of healing not only physically, but also internally. A new way of inhabiting the scene, no longer as an obligation, but as a place of rediscovered freedom.
