Interviewed by Paolo Dal Bon, this autumn Elio will be performing in Il Grigio by Giorgio Gaber and Sandro Luporini, directed by Giorgio Gallione. Once again, an important figure from the Italian world of entertainment will be taking on the repertoire of Mr. G, a challenge that an eclectic and intelligent artist like Elio will carry off successfully, with the support of the expert director Giorgio Gallone, who will also be taking part in the discussion.

The 2019 edition of Milano per Gaber – which has always been a point of reference for the theatrical and cultural study of the artist - coincides with the eightieth anniversary of Mr. G and offers a rich calendar of events.
The Teatro Strehler plays host to the events with two of the most acclaimed protagonists from the Italian music scene: Paolo Conte (26 April, 7 p.m.) and Cesare Cremonini (27 April, 3 p.m.).

On Monday 6 may at 8.30 p.m., the Teatro Grassi will be playing host to an event with Elio, who from October will be featuring in Il Grigio.

There are two presentations of books related to Mr. G: Sunday 28 April at 4.30 p.m. the Teatro Studio Melato will play host to the presentation of Gaber-Brel.
