The Mondo Eco literary and environmental festival continues with a new event tomorrow from 5:30 p.m. at Sa Domu de Su Coru in Quartucciu, Via Progresso 2. Special guest Antonio Catalano will present his book "The Soul and Ice Cream. Stories of the Man with the Straw Hat," with a preface by Vito Mancuso.
Actor, visual artist, and writer, Catalano is also known as “Magopovero” for his artistic research, which for years has intertwined theater, writing, and installations made with simple and recycled materials.
The volume collects stories, encounters and memories born during his numerous theatrical trips to countries and cities, in a choral tale.
"Catalano's presence is part of the Mondo Eco journey and fully reflects the festival's philosophical vision. Indeed, environmental sustainability cannot exist without an internal and ecological sustainability of our perspective and human relationships. Catalano teaches us an ecology of the soul that rejects consumerist frenzy to rediscover empathy and profound respect for all life," says author Rita Atzeri, director of Il Crogiuolo. The event is free.
