| The composition was performed
in Schwerin, in Germany, during the Festival "Verfemte Musik 2004",
in which some survivors from Nazi concentrations camps (like
Terezin's girls) were present. Jewish prisoner composers' music was
performed during this Festival. The most
important moment of the Festival was the proiection of
the film The great Dictator by Chaplin, in
the context between Wagner's music and Third
Reich.
For this reason the great actor and director's son, Michael, and the
German composer's great-grandson, Gottfried, were present
at the Festival.
In this context Paolo Colombo had the honour to seal the event with one of his
original composition, Adenoid
im Gral, musical parody of the melodies by Wagner and
Chaplin.
