Men and women will be in Oristano with black cape and mustache (real or designed) for the third world meeting of Zorro. The appointment is for next May 28th.
The initiative has already taken place in 1984 and 2004, but this year's - conceived by director Filippo Martinez - has something special. The letter Z, the signature of the masked executioner, is the one used by Russian propaganda during the war in Ukraine and the intent of the participants in the event is to "take it back", not with the sword but with irony: "Why In the end, Zorro brings justice back not with weapons, but with a smile, ”explains Martinez.
"Dear Zorro, you have always fought with courage, cunning and irony against the arrogance of power, for this reason the zeta has become a symbol of justice for all the oppressed; now, however, Vladimir Putin, applying your zeta on his death devices, it has completely overturned its meaning by transforming it into a symbol of ferocity and extermination "reads the appeal published on Facebook by the University of Aristan (which in reality does not exist but often becomes real through concrete initiatives). Then the request: "The floating University of Aristan which, as you know, with its courses in the Sciences of Happiness and the Prevention of Exaggerated Idiocy awards degrees in Theory and Techniques of the Salvation of Humanity, today formally asks you to restore the meaning native to your noble profaned zeta. Return. We await you. "
