Marracash: “Great rap shows require ideas, time and work”

In 2022, with the “people tour”, between Palazzetti and summer arenas, Marracash raised the level of live rap. By claiming this mission: “I don’t like to hear that rap concerts are lower than the pop or rock or rock, I want to take the bar on the bar,” he said in a meeting with journalists after a Assago forum four years ago. In 2023 Marrageddon arrived who, as we wrote, reviewing it, marked a before and after: Today many rappers, on that wave, dream or organize their mega-festival. The rapper was once again a pioneer. In this 2025 Marra, the first Italian rapper to be the protagonist of a tour in the stadiums (here the dates; more than 250 thousand tickets sold on a capacity of 300 thousand, lets Friends & Partners know) focuses even higher by presenting a show, in the multimedia spaces of Meet – Digital Culture Center in Milanwhich combines music, technology, theater, cinema. A mix of creativity with a real story to act as a red thread, a plot.

Form and substance

“It will have a strong content at the story level, but it will also be powerful at the image level: If a tiktoker comes to see him who beats about his story, he will still remain impressed from a visual point of view and the imposcence“Marra says. And there is no lack of a” power slap “:” There is a wrong narrative about rap: I feel rapper who say ‘I wrote the verse in five minutes’ or go to rehearsals for the tours a few days. This thing cuts the legs, puts the rap into the niche. Any professional at high levels does not do things in ten minutes. We have thought of this live for months, I’ve been trying for weeks. Exactly like Vasco or Cremonini. This Rapo Easy rhetoric made quickly leaves the time it finds. We need ideas, time and work to do things big“.

Mind Industries

The presentation is immediately pyrotechnic: to make a word first is Lorenzo De Pascalis of shadow design studio that, for the occasion, plays the role of a scientist of Mind Industries, a kind of secret organization, even has an Instagram page you can write to, which has the aim of “gathering two souls in conflict in a single body with new and experimental methods”. The first patient? It is obviously the rapper of the Barona, who for all his record trilogy told the conflict between Fabio Uomo and Marracash artist. The tour in the stadiums, as underlined also in the launch trailer, will be the final chapter, the closure of the accounts on this dichotomy.

Music, cinema and theater

“It’s a great live, a gamble -says Marracash-In the center there is a story with a cinematographic flavor, on the encounter-clash I am talking about in my records. One of the characters, whose voice will be heard and with whom I will interact, It will be played by Matilda De Angelis. And there will be contributions shot by Pippo Mezzapesa to feed the story. There will be a band. There will be dancers-scientists. There will be an impactful scenography with Five robotsfive arms that will do several things. On stage there will be both Fabio and Marracash. The ladder will focus on the trilogy. The whole story will be collected in 6 acts who will scan the healing “.

Madame Single Fixed Guest

Then he continues: “It is a live that you want to differentiate, it will not be a festivalbar with a thousand guests. The only fixed guest will be Madamewho will play a character. This tour will be a junction for my career, it will be a point on my inner conflicts. It will be a stage all my trilogy“. There will be a real laboratory on stage and above it a bolla-eye with a voice, precisely that of Matilda De Angelisin addition to dozens of Eggs components with references to the songs of the three records. “There will be a lot of technology, but with human creativity -Concludes Marra – Today many lives have visual made with the AI. There is nothing wrong, but twenty people work on this show. And it is right to underline it. A last spoiler? Even my manager Paola Zukar will play a role in the stadium show“.
