Niggers, fags, jews & Co.—The eternal war on the others

A performance to help understand contemporary society with the spread of hate messages on the Internet, the anti-blacks choruses in sports stadiums, he beatings of disabled persons, the onslaught of xenophobic parties in all of Europe, the murders of homeless people, but also with the first black president sitting in the White House. Popular reporter Gian Antonio Stella investigates our contradictory reality and asks some tough questions on why the guilty feelings about our racist instincts and our contempt of those who are not like us, or about the Holocaust, seem to be dwindling after so many examples of intolerance and distrust. In this performance, freely drawn from his book and accompanied by the music of Gualtiero Bertelli and Compagnia delle Acque, Stella will address the present confusion and uncertainty concerning some of man’s fundamental values. A story in music, songs and pictures on the increasingly difficult relationship between ‘us’ and the ‘others’.
