“Marmolot” transports its audience into the vibrant atmosphere of a bustling metropolis on the American continent. At the heart of the story is Marmolot, a lovable, slightly slow-moving, and aging dachshund who finally decides to pursue his lifelong dream: leaving his peaceful home in Tuscany, Italy, to seek his fortune as a jazz musician in the New World.
After crossing the Atlantic, Marmolot is immediately immersed in the fast-paced energy of the big city. Surrounded by swinging jazz rhythms, urban excitement, and unexpected encounters, he experiences the first adventures of his new life. When his instrument is almost stolen, fate takes an unexpected turn: he meets the love of his life and discovers not only a new musical home but also a life partner.
In the end, Marmolot decides to stay. The work culminates in his very first solo concert at a trendy underground club—a thrilling finale filled with energy, groove, and the joy of life.
With a rich palette of musical colors, memorable melodies, and stylistic influences from the world of jazz, Valentin Gasser tells a charming story of new beginnings, courage, and the pursuit of one’s dreams.
