On the contrary, the wind blows on the earth, the wind blows on the lands, on all the lands of which the world is composed. But is the wind only one? Or are the winds so many, and each place has its own? What do the Scirocco and the Tramontana say when they meet or when, perhaps, they collide? Each brings with it sand, dust, signs and thoughts, stories and legends of the lands from which he took off and from which he began his journey. And stories and legends, so carried along with sand and dust, travel on the wings of the wind, and intertwine and overlap and together they struggle and dance. And they ruffle the lands that touch and fly, and they mess up the hair of those who let themselves be ruffled by life. From the life that goes, that travels, that does not stop and does not let itself be harnessed by the boundaries or stopped by walls and barriers. And these thoughts, these stories are us, all of us who are interwoven with stories and give stories to flesh and material and soul and voice. And we will tell you and share words and emotions with you. So, we just ask you to sit down and listen.

Starting from the Object: objects that retain stories, beyond their form or function, objects that change over time, as well as the memories contained in them, objects that release energy and movement, even if they are still. We ask participants to bring items to their loved ones and then objects dear to their loved ones, when they arrived in this “new” country. Placing yourself in front of those objects as observers, redefine them. We will interview participants about why their choices. Collect these words and help them make a little story, their story. We will build the pages of the script from there. In the background a play: “Twelfth Night” by Shakespeare, an initial pretext, the shipwreck, disperses the sheets of the script, and loses the navigators’ objects. It follows the clumsy attempt to reconstruct the story, between misunderstandings and confused memories. We do not know where they will land, but their journey will be mythical.

A storm. A shipwreck that changes lives. A magical island that reconnects the threads of existence in unpredictable ways. A final redemption. These are the elements of the of Tempest by W. Shakespeare. We would like to use these sounding keywords in order to stimulate the participants to rewrite its own stories of exclusion and redemption. We would like the feelings, the emotions, the desires of young teenagers gently reveal themselves to tell about our age made of very few magic and even less hopes.
