Alessandro is the story of the life, exploits and works of an extraordinary intellectual. It is the story of a young man who chooses to keep his eyes open to the reality that surrounds him, to dedicate his life to giving light to what remains dark and hidden in the most terrible places, to commit himself to dismantling stereotypes and stock phrases with to which we distance ourselves from the dramas that pervade our present, to always and in any case be on the side of the “Last”. Alessandro is Taranto. Alessandro is a journey into the ghettos of migrants, losts in the countryside. It is a tireless journey to the places of borders and walls. Alessandro is wonder in front of a painting. It is a very high practice of a “pietas” of the gaze. Alessandro is a traveling companion in these difficult times, an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Alessandro is pulsating theatre, where memory, present and utopia can never bear to be separated, as in all his work.
