Bárbaros (letteralmente “balbuziente”) è la parola onomatopeica con cui gli antichi Greci motteggiavano gli stranieri che non parlavano greco, alludendo alla ‘diversità’ come un gap fisico e culturale insieme. Questa ‘diversità’ oggettiva  è appunto ciò che si cerca a teatro e che perciò sta tra i suoi fondamenti come comportamento sociale, tanto che il teatro stesso si può definire come il luogo dove questa diversità viene com-misurata (mimesis) per meta-bolizzarla (katharsis), sia essa percepita come etnica, culturale, psichica o perfino morale - sempre fisica in quanto reale. Dunque oggi l’esibizione del corpo ‘diverso’ da parte di alcune esperienze teatrali, ‘umanitarie’ o ‘artistiche’ che siano, è norma  piuttosto che eccezione e rinnova l’esigenza di chiarire il ruolo dei nostri pregiudizi, distinguendo fra omologazione e banalizzazione del ‘diverso’: fra Teatro e spettacolo.
Barbarous (literally "stuttering") is the onomatopoeic word with which the ancient Greeks mocked foreigners who did not speak Greek, alluding to 'diversity' as a physical and cultural gap together. This objective 'diversity' is precisely what is sought in theater and is therefore one of its foundations as a social behavior so much that the theater itself can be defined as the place where this diversity is met (mimesis) to meta-bolster it (catharsis), whether it is perceived as ethnic, cultural, psychic or even moral - always physical as real. Therefore, today the exhibition of the 'different' body by some theatrical, 'humanitarian' or 'artistic' experiences that is, is a norm rather than an exception and it reiterates the need to clarify the role of our prejudices, distinguishing between homologation and banalization of the 'different': between Theater and show.

Dear David, as we said, here the program of the symposium in Teatro Olimpico we talked about in Crewe. I send you also the word file, in the case you need to translate anything.

Really nice to have met you, and all wishes to you of a long, passionated study of theatre
