Burning While Peeing During Your Period

Letter of Elio De Capitani, artistic director Elf Theatre Puccini


Dear Mark, Edward and Frederick,

environmental sustainability is not an ideology, how for years many have wanted to believe, and many would have you believe today.
It 's the way we know how to combine all our choices in a smart way to learn to live better, but in perspective I should say learn to survive.
It 's also a way to renegotiate intelligently - first of all in our heads, because it is rooted in society - the relationship between politics, technology, business, man and nature that undermines a central idea of \u200b\u200bculture as "caring" and " able to grow, "which reestablishes our actions to long-term and not the blinding frenzy of the moment and current as the only goal of modernity.
Sustainability brings together the strong interests in this and other interests, while weak now, but who can also think of those who come after us and can not comment now. Puts into play the relationship between generations, between past, present and future.
I am a theater artist, and I know what my skin is neglected in this country the value of symbolic exchange that occurs between audience and stage, a symbolic exchange generated from the same womb and in the same years of democracy: the laboratory in Athens. Reopen the lab, in the complexity of human life twenty-five centuries later, it is not easy, but it should be done.
Without the ability to counter the culturally overwhelming advance of a model society of the spectacle that all presentification plebeian plebiscite and makes every act of government, we will not go away, despite all our chameleonic ability to get by.
do our part as the city of Milan, also in our full and direct interest of citizens who live or work here, can and should be our first step.
adhere to this spirit, an idea that part of ecology also wants to combat environmental pollution, cultural pollution, the son of the customs clearance of ignorance as a new self-idolatry of the Italians.
The idea of \u200b\u200ba city referendum they propose is not utopian but practical and necessary. The advantage of Milan is also to be a relatively small city, manageable, and still relatively enjoyable.
subscribe and I will, I'm already doing my part. The also have a theater like our new Elf Puccini is zero emissions for the city is proud of: we want to do more. We would like the bike racks in front of the theater, the subway at night, the solar panels to produce its own energy as possible we need to run heat pumps, which are already levying of geothermal water for heating and cooling the water table our theater. As you can see
adhesion is very confident and I hope that many people adhere to this wonderful initiative as has happened in the lobby of our theater last night, during the evening of the Manifesto for Milan, which saw a turnout far exceeding expectations, a sign that citizens feel that you can not refuse to build a different future.
A hug.

Elio De Capitani
