We will thus celebrate the awakening of spring for Theatre too, now more than ever tasked with stimulating the fantasy and the imagination of the spectator, who is saturated with images today and passively stimulated by digital technology. This new edition of the Festival, a platform of political and poetic resistance, will continue to defend the idea that Theatre, Art and Culture must safeguard their public service mission this will be a vibrant and hypnotic laboratory of theatrical creation, an essential reference as an outpost of heroic utopias and revolutionary wonders, and will drape itself in emerald green, for a symbolic horizon that stands for a time of profound change, of transformation, of transition to a new phase of life: the regeneration after winter, the revitalisation, the resurrection, rebirth and freedom of the human being. This is why our Biennale Teatro 2023, taking on this responsibility, will reconnect our collective memory to the current history of a shattered Humanity, divided between anxiety and deliberate blindness, and the need to build a bearable, eco-sustainable future, thus paving the way towards a more radiant global perspective. The time has also come for Theatre to take inventory, in the artistic spirit that distinguishes it, of our anxieties and shortcomings in the face of future environmental transformations, to become a sounding board for these urgent and vital questions. It is no longer enough to protest against the damage being done to the ecosystem by the uncivil hand of man, the time has come to (re)think the universe above and beyond relationships of dominion and subordination to challenge the sterile contradistinction between Nature and Culture and to renew the dialogue that we had interrupted with them to repair the bonds that join the body to earth, reactivating our primordial connection with this so direly mistreated Planet to let ourselves be overwhelmed by the searingly authentic song of the Earth which for three and a half billion years has borne witness to a fragile balance and finally to put Man back in the place he deserves, encouraging him to be more humble because his is only one species among an infinity of others, a small part of a large whole that has preceded and will survive him, a brief fragment of history. With scarce generosity towards Nature that surrounds us, not much. Today we are assessing the ill-fated consequences of such a view. Our Western societies have based their vision of unlimited development on the aberrant ideology of man’s presumed omnipotence before the elements that supposedly constitute the universe, omitting the essential: we are not before the world, but in the world, in a relationship of interdependence. May God bless you and keep you - until then.“No one thinks of winter when the grass is green” We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny. Give freely of what you find and join us. Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows. This is the Great Fact for us.Ībandon yourself to God as you understand God. See to it that your relationship with Him is right, and great events will come to pass for you and countless others. But obviously you cannot transmit something you haven't got. The answers will come, if your own house is in order. Ask Him in your morning meditation what you can do each day for the man who is still sick. God will constantly disclose more to you and to us. He will show you how to create the fellowship you crave. God will determine that, so you must remember that your real reliance is always upon Him. Still you may say: "But I will not have the benefit of contact with you who write this book." We cannot be sure. And have discovered the joy of helping others to face life again, there will be no stopping until everyone in that town has had his opportunity to recover - if he can and will.
