Stefano Massini takes to the stage as writer and performer with a copy of a newspaper published on the day of the performance, weaving a web of references, symmetries and coincidences with novels, films, stories and tales that will serve to interpret the news.
9.30 p.m.
In general, there is an idea that on the one side is fantasy, balanced on the other by reality. Therefore, on the one hand we have literature and invention, while on the other we have real-life reporting. But this is all wrong. We write the present; it is a blank page, to be filled with ideas and images. In the same way that a book is written, a framework of the characters and stories is composed, constructing our here and now. Let us try, then, to read our present as though it were a text filled with footnotes, in which political, social, international - even news and sport - events are part of a mosaic of literary precedents. Stefano Massini accepts the challenge and takes to the stage as writer and performer with a copy of a newspaper published on the day of the performance, weaving a web of references, symmetries and coincidences with novels, films, stories and tales that will serve to interpret the news.
