Presenza amata e ricorrente del Festival ORLANDO, il Collettivo Cinetico torna a Bergamo per Lazzaretto Estate. In scena, nove ragazzi e ragazze tra i 15 e i 18 anni, sospesi sulla soglia che porta alla maggiore età. Si presentano come ‘esemplari umani’ e sono classificati secondo i parametri più disparati e divertenti. Il pubblico assiste così a un racconto vero e mai uguale, in cui ogni persona adolescente si definisce sul momento, tra serietà e leggerezza, emozione e ironia.

Some editions stay with you, days after they end. Festival ORLANDO has drawn a shared affective geography, built encounter by encounter, body by body, word by word. We have crossed borders, questioned identities, imagined other possibilities. And every ending, we know, already holds a beginning.

It has been an incredible edition. And we do not say this as a ritual closing formula at the end of the Festival. ORLANDO welcomed an unexpected number of new people: the programmes, the encounters, the places we moved through, and the relationships that emerged gradually traced, day after day, a shared affective and political geography. So thank you to everyone who participated in, shared, moved through, and made ORLANDO possible.
