The magistrate Gianni Caria, after "The caregiver of Bucharest" (Robin 2012), once again addresses the reflection on identity, on the social and psychological uprooting of people who find themselves facing life in a situation of permanent tension between the past represented by the place of origin, and the present lived in the place of arrival, often feeling extraneous in both contexts.
This is the situation experienced by the two protagonists of "Sabbie" which the author, in dialogue with Maria Antonietta Ruiu, director of the Municipal Library of Sassari, will present on Tuesday 29 August at 7.30 pm, at the MuT.
Set on one of the most beautiful beaches of Stintino, the book narrates, within the space-time unity of a summer day, the life of two people, Pape, a Senegalese street vendor in Italy to pay for his younger sister's medical studies , and Lu, a university student of Vietnamese origins adopted by an Italian couple, who pretends to be a Chinese masseuse.
In the background, symbolic scenography, the sand or, better, the sands, in which Pape and Lu move with difficulty, both imprisoned in the past, both foreigners, alone and deceived, destined to cross without meeting, on the crowded Stintino beach.
The next appointments at the MuT - Museo della Tonnara di Stintino will be Thursday 31 August at 9 pm with the concert of the "Trio ACD" of the musical review "Musica d'Estate a Stintino" organized by the Association "Friends of the Conservatory Philharmonic Orchestra of Sardinia ” and on Saturday 2 September the museum will host at 19:30 the presentation of the book by Francesco Bellu, archaeologist and journalist, who will talk about his essay “The archaeologist on the big screen. From the silent era to Indiana Jones, a journey to discover the cinema archaeologist”.
