Journey/reading/chorus/installation in memory of the victims of the Holocaust
As a testament to the fact that the act of remembering – indeed, of Remembrance – is a painful exercise that must be constantly repeated (for when we stop, oblivion advances unchecked), the Frantoio di Fucecchio, following a great demand from local schools, is once again organising the journey – that of the deportees and that of the public – between past and present, so that the dialogue between the two eras remains alive.
The performance, inspired by Guidi’s numerous trips to the concentration camps of Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, as well as to Terezin (Czech Republic) and Ebensee (Austria) and, more recently, to the camps of Ravensbrück and Buchenwald in Germany together with pupils from the lower secondary school in Cerreto Guidi, Vinci and Sovigliana, aims to evoke a historical moment that is unparalleled in the physical, material and spiritual harm inflicted upon millions of human beings; it is a testimony to the past, an invitation to discern its traces in the present.
