Improtheater Carambolage: “Xmas-Show” At the Christmas market, the takings are high, the inns are full, and a family of refugees from the Middle East is settled in a stable, above which the angels sing. Ah, if only improvisational theatre had existed back then! The shepherds would have staged a musical with a happy ending for Baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph would have been swept up in a storm of love, and the ox and the donkey would have been settled in a cozy little farm. But it’s never too late for beautiful stories! Just come to the theatre: here life fills with joyful messages. And who knows, maybe the Befana will enter the stage on a flying sleigh… Event: Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at the Piccolo Teatro Carambolage, starting at 8:00 PM. www.impro.carambolage.org

The evening opens with a short film by directors Samba Ngum and Emilio Tamburini. Black Vesuvio tells a story of personal identification with Naples’ iconic volcano, seen through the eyes of Samba Ngum—a Gambian entrepreneur and musician who came to Italy for love. After finding work at the Vesuvius National Park, Samba faces, on one hand, the racism of certain tourists and, on the other, a growing affection for the volcano itself: powerful yet forced into silence… until the day it erupts.
Following the screening, Gianpaolo Chiriacò will moderate a conversation with the two directors.
The evening continues in Waag’s historic cellar with a performance by the duo Sophia Domancich and Napoleon Maddox, embodying yet another meeting at the crossroads of musical worlds and identities.

A collaboration driven by sonic exploration and a tribute to the great African American composers.
