SHAME
a visual poem in 3 chapters
CHAPTER 1: NEVER JUDGE A BOOK
BY ITS COVER
CHAPTER 2: ARE YOU SURE IF WE
SHARE THE SAME BICYCLE WE ARE HAPPY?
CHAPTER 3: HAVING A SAMURAI
SWORD DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO
HURT WITH IT!
A white big space. Maybe it's the
gym of a school. The youngsters have no name. Just numbers: 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7: the number of the brave and
fearless Samurai. Or 7, as the days of The Judgment, before
the 8th day sweep all away. The bell
rings, so the pedagogue makes his entrance:
"Theaim of this lesson
it's not to fulfill wishes, but to raise up new
questions".
This work wants to investigate the relationship that may spring
between the teacher and the student, together with the hasty and
cheap judgments that a community could give regardless.
To those who judge without knowing, here is a final warning:
"Remember to be clement
.
Having a Samurai sword doesn't mean that you have to hurt with
it".
Concept & direction Giuseppe L. Bonifati
with Alberto M. Giunaldo & 6 Youngsters
