A journey through memory and time featuring 17 performers, as many as the victims of Piazza Fontana plus an eighteenth: the anarchist Pino Pinelli, interpreted by Kea Tonetti. A sequence of ten scenes recounts the “state massacres” through the projection of images from the period: the victims “come back to life” to recount those dramatic events with their ghostly bodies, which become moving screens.
The performance is dedicated to the Piazza Fontana victims and Pino Pinelli and was presented on the fiftieth anniversary of the Piazza Fontana massacre at the PACTA Salone and in the Council Chamber of Palazzo Marino in Milan in 2019, and at the Museo del Novecento in Milan in 2021.
