Poetic Crossings
Talks about poetry Bologna, 6 May - 27 May 2025
What is poetry? What is this strange creature that has insisted on speaking to humans for thousands of years? What is this revolution of words placed uniquely on white space?
Three evenings of listening to three different people, to three points of view of those who do not write what they know, but who begin to know it by writing.
In association with Cronopios.

** Eugenia Giancaspro **, LIS interpreter and poetry slammer, her performance comprises poetry and music, rhymes and signs. This is so everyone can understand, without leaving anyone behind, as was the case in the days of the September drums, when the deaf children didn't know that it was time to go back to school.

** Vivian Lamarque **, born in Tesero (Trento) in 1946, has always lived in Milan where she has taught Italian to foreigners and literature in private schools. In 2023, she won the first edition of the Strega Poesia Award with L'amore da Vecchia (Mondadori). Her poetry talks about recovery, abandonment, the search for origins and the unknowable, using a language composed of unexpected deviations and sudden associations.

** Lorenzo Maragoni **, a versatile and eclectic artist, presents Live poetry, a performance poetry show. Fifty minutes of original texts made up of 90% performance poetry and 10% stand-up comedy sketches. Through the telling of the story of everyday life, in short pieces somewhere between theatre and a kind of concert without music, we are confronted with the classic themes of poetry: love, identity, the constant feeling that life is always just about to begin and you just need to do something to really start living.
