“Pandemopraxy, almost a manifesto in the time of Coronavirus” – VIDEO
"How you will live? How you will learn? How will you communicate? How will you express yourself? How will you do everything you do?". Around these questions inspired by Subsonica's song dedicated to the Third Paradise, Cittadellarte launches the initiative "The art of balance". Paolo Naldini proposes his own docu-film reflecting on the impact Covid-19 will have on our society, also in the next stages of this emergency and once it will be over. The director of Cittadellarte offers a series of analysis and ideas for the rebirth - between trinamic balance, demopraxy and the research, right and joy of each individual in their own community - starting with a local and individual dimension to the global collective. Here is how to go from pandemic... to pandemopraxy.
