«Novecento : pianiste» is the theatrical monologue by Alessandro Baricco, published by Mille et une nuits in paperback (79 pages, in French).
The monologue recreates the life of Danny Boodmann T.D. Lemon Novecento, a pianist born on the transatlantic liner Virginian who never disembarks and becomes a musical legend to those who hear him; through his music and the passengers crossing the ship, the work composes a lyrical fable about art, identity and freedom.
Text in French, translated from Italian by Françoise Brun; the original, «Novecento. Un monologo», was published in 1994.
For readers of theatre and contemporary Italian narrative; the monologue became known through the film adaptation «La leyenda del pianista en el océano».
