About the tour

In order to promote the album, Pausini engaged a World Tour, starting with 11 shows in Italy in late December 2011. The tour reached South America in January–February 2012 (returning to countries like Venezuela where just performed once 14 years ago during the World Wide Tour 1997) and traveling during March–May the European leg of her tour. According to her words it was to have been one of her largest world tours ever made (expected to be more extensive than her last World Tour 2009).

The stage, where a classic Italian production blends with the utmost rock aggressiveness, changes continuously during the concert; each song is highlighted by different effects. For the first time, Laura had a dance group made up of six dancers, who performed choreographies by world-renowned choreographer Nikos Lagousakos. And then video projections, special effects of a kind never before seen in Italy, and video-mapping, which make the show an exceptional event at the global level, and certainly the most sophisticated, poetic, and all-encompassing tour ever put on the road by an Italian artist. Gold marks the opening, followed by red for “passion”, and then the stage suddenly turns into an explosion of nature. A starry night acted as a backdrop for a 3D moon, bringing the show to a close with a big surprise. Costumes, accessories, videos and sets: every single element has been tailor-made for this special occasion by an international team of top level quality and experience. The collaboration with British architect Mark Fisher, for instance, set designer for Pink Floyd and U2, and creator of one-of-a-kind sets for the Cirque du Soleil, at his first ever contribution to an Italian production, and Patrick Woodroffe, lighting designer for leading pop and rock artists, including Bob Dylan, Ac/Dc, Depeche Mode, Rolling Stones, and who had recently been working on This is it, Michael Jackson’s last, never-completed show.

During the "Invece No" part of the show, Pausini is lifted up high, and sings the song in a way similar to the one during the Latin Grammy Awards of 2009 wearing a skirt specially designed for the artist by the English fashion brand CuteCircuit.^[2] Also, in "Tra te e il mare" a moon is raised up above the spectators heads. In places with limited stage space, some of the props were removed, such as the performances in Brazil having no lifting and in Mexico City having neither lifting nor moon.

Currently, all dates up to February 14, 2012 showed the sold out.
