A moment of insight and discussion around the theme THE EARTH, chosen as the title of the program of La MaMa Spoleto Open 2015. Activists, ecologists, artists, authors and poets, from Italy and abroad will give voice to the earth, sharing some "appeals" of the earth to men. Ideas, images, sounds and testimonies that aim to to raise awareness among artists and the public around the increasingly important and topical issues of ecology, global and personal relationships that exist between humans and the complex realms of the living, natural, political, social and cultural.
