Alessandro Di Battista. Scomode verità

Alessandro Di Battista stages the theatrical transposition of his latest book, a raw, courageous and militant account of the massacres committed. Starting with the conflict in Afghanistan, passing through those in Iraq and Libya, Di Battista arrives at the war in Ukraine, showing how the bellicose narrative and the western media system work. Di Battista recalls the genesis of the war in Ukraine as well as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, rails against the instrumental use of anti-Semitism, and explains how and why Israel has gradually turned into a country characterised by fundamentalism and state terrorism. Finally, after showing and narrating images and facts from Gaza that the mainstream does not have the courage to show and tell, the author recalls how, paradoxically, the First Republic was characterised at least in foreign policy by a freedom that is unthinkable today. 85 minutes to close with a message of hope, action and participation: what everyone can do to continue to be on the side of the ‘damned of the Earth’, therefore, on the right side of History.
