BOOKS GET LONELY

Theatrical reduction from the book of the same name by Luigi Contu

Theseus' Ship Publisher

‍

With readings by NINA PONS and IVAN OLIVIERI

"Books live a life of their own that intersects with ours. If you leave them abandoned on the shelf for too long they get sad. It is not enough to just buy them and read them. They have to be experienced, cherished, consumed, especially the ones you liked the most or that impressed, moved, perhaps upset you. You have to continue to living them even after you finish reading them. Books are lonely Luigi, like us." The words of a father to his son pass the baton of a family library and all the stories that those books, collected over three generations, have the impatience to tell.
