The two writers and activists bring to the Piccolo Teatro’s Chiostro the format that led to them finding fame with widespread social network audiences: Non me nero accorta, a column that discusses identity and current affairs, and an Italy that has not yet come to terms with the history of its own form of racism.
An open and unfiltered conversation on fear and resistance, between hidden yet indestructible roots and the challenges of daily battles that promote awareness, growth and love.
Djarah Kahn and Espérance Hakuzwimana draw on their imaginary and real characters to tell the stories they have written in order to resist in the present and to redesign an accessible future composed of care, love and dignity.

The evening, which forms part of the cycle of events Ogni volta unica la fine del mondo, aligns with the philosophy behind sostenere lo sguardo, proposing a collective exercise in perception. As spectators and artists, we ask ourselves how we can aid our planet by looking at it through different eyes; how to focus attention on events, objects and living creatures in order to assess our relationship with the world from foreign and wild points of view.
