Memory is a painful exercise which needs to be constantly revisited (when we stop, oblivion advances) and the Frantoio, responding to requests from local schools, has decided to re-stage the journey of both the deportees and the audience to keep alive the dialogue between the past and the present.
The performance, inspired by Firenza Guidi's numerous journeys to the concentration camps of Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, as well as Terezin (Cech Republic) and Ebensee (Austria) and, more recently, to the camps of Ravensbrück and Buchenwald in Germany with 200 14-year-olds students from the school of Cerreto Guidi, Vinci and Sovigliana, wants to retrieve the memory of a unique historical moment and the physical, material and spiritual harm inflicted on millions of human beings. It is a witnessing of the past and an invitation to recognize the signs of such attitudes in the present.
The performance will be open to students from local schools from Monday 9h to Saturday 14th December.
