To recreate the miracle of the human voice. This is the task of literature, singing, and theater. It is the thread around which unfolds the first novel by Patrizia Laquidara, “I Saw You Yesterday” (Neri Pozza), a miraculous inventory of lives and people, names and nicknames, objects and
animals: from the tender and unsettling figure of a strange medium to the voices of fishermen at the Catania market, to the roar of an old furnace in Murano, where glass is forged with fire, to the endless trains through the tunnels of the boot, the countryside, and the hills of upper Vicenza. A portrait of a country that reaches modernity while carrying all the weight of its ancient roots and legends. And it is also the craft and daily adventure of Marco Paolini, from civil theater dedicated to Vajont to the latest “Boomers,” a show that questions what the possible answers of theater are to a world where virtual and real experiences are increasingly intertwined. A conversation about the private and public value of memory (which is different from nostalgia), its artistic and expressive implications, and its infinite seductions.
