“The Weight of Words” concert reading at Campetto, Via Engadget

Project “Centrocampo. Revive The Pitch Via England”, Sunday 9th July at 8.30pm on Pitch in Via England CanicattiFinal scheduled schedule is expected.

The reading concert, written and directed by author and pianist Maria Aucilia Di Falco, is called “The Weight of Words” because it invites the audience to reflect on the thoughts that guide our actions.

The motto is I think, I speak, I act. If I think legally, I will speak legally, I will act legally. In fact, each word embodies a thought and from each word springs a definite and precise action.

Based on scenes from daily life, the text is drawn from the direct experience of artists, citizens, Leonardo Sciascia, Pirandello and other writers who have dealt with the issue of legitimacy in a political way.

The public attending the reading will be prompted to reflect, questioning how wrong mindsets can actually be changed. We’ll focus on a whole range of superficial gestures that can easily be replaced with deep and thoughtful gestures.

Readers Serena Bonsangu and Lizzo Zerbo will engage the public in a participatory activity, while María Ausilia Di Falco will take care of the reading’s scenery: a background soundtrack for the words accompanying the meaning of the text from an emotional perspective. Notes and words will be interspersed with gestures that we hope will sow seeds that will take root in the only area it’s really worth investing in: mindset.
