Monte Bettogli, Carrara: in marble quarries, men and machines dig the mountain. The Quarry Boss monitors, coordinates and leads his quarrymen and their heavy vehicles using an unconventional language consisting only of gestures and signs, a code the head quarryman uses to overcome the work-site’s deafening noise. Directing his dangerous and sublime orchestra, in a theater with splendid views of the cliffs and peaks of the Apuan Alps, the Quarry Boss works in an absolute pandemonium which becomes paradoxical silence.
