How you must imagine me. Language and pedagogy from Don Milani to Pasolini and back.

On the occasion of festivalfilosofiaparola.2023 dedicated to language and speaking in contemporary times, Emilia Romagna ERT Theater / National Theater takes care of the evening How you must imagine me. Language and pedagogy from Don Milani to Pasolini and back, scheduled at Storchi Theater in Modena Friday 15 September at 20.30.

The director of ERT, director and actor Valter Malosti will be in dialogue with the psychoanalyst, essayist and writer Massimo Recalcati to face pedagogy according to Pier Paolo Pasolini, on the notes of Bach played live by the cellist Lamberto Curtoni. During the evening, Malosti and Recalcati will reveal Pasolini's profound interest in the pedagogical question, a theme very dear to the author, an obsession that informs his entire activity: from the little school in Versuta - created in the aftermath of the war - up to the letters to Gennariello shortly before his death, in which the anxiety over the loss and the need to keep memory and tradition alive emerges.

The ideas and poetic words of the intellectual, among the greatest and most versatile of the twentieth century, will come to life on stage through the reading some of his writings: his reaction to Don Milani's book will find space The peasant culture of the Barbiana school; the Lutheran Letter e some poems, starting from the very famous The PCI for young people! The appointment marks the last stage of How you have to imagine me, the project created by Valter Malosti together with the art critic, writer and academic Giovanni Agosti dedicated to Pasolini, created on the occasion of the centenary of his birth (Bologna, 1922) and which last year brought to the stage the entire corpus of the author's theatrical texts and the screenplay of the film never made The Wild Father, with the involvement of mostly young artists. È the gaze of a new youth therefore, to provide an answer to the inexhaustible relevance of an ethical and political lesson, which has marked more than a generation.
