✨ **Trama in breve** Gea ha ventisette anni e vive sui Navigli di Milano, in un piccolo mondo tutto suo da cui raramente si allontana. In un’epoca che corre veloce e guarda lontano, lei sceglie di restare vicino: aggiusta oggetti, li rimette in circolo, lascia in giro poesie e piccoli messaggi, convinta che ogni cosa possa avere una seconda possibilità. Circondata da personaggi fuori dal comune – e decisamente lontani dalla sua età – Gea sembra sospesa, come se non trovasse davvero il suo posto nel mondo. Forse anche a causa di un passato ingombrante e di paure che non è mai riuscita a sistemare, proprio lei che ripara tutto. Quando una vecchia bottega di rigattiere, il “Nuovo mondo”, rischia di sparire per sempre, Gea decide di fare qualcosa: salvarla. Quella missione diventa molto più di un gesto concreto — è l’occasione per affrontare sé stessa, immaginare un futuro diverso e, forse, iniziare finalmente a vivere davvero. Perché a volte, ciò che proviamo a salvare… finisce per salvare noi. 💬 **Cosa faremo insieme?** * Condivideremo i passaggi che ci hanno colpito di più * Parleremo di Gea: la capiamo? la critichiamo? la abbracciamo? 😄 * Scopriremo somiglianze e differenze tra lei e noi ❓ **Spunti per la discussione:** * Ti sei sentita rappresentata da Gea? * In quali aspetti ti riconosci? * Dove invece senti distanza dal suo modo di affrontare la vita? Non è necessario aver letto il libro per partecipare né condividere le proprie opinioni. Puoi acquistare il libro oppure prenderlo in prestito in biblioteca. 📍 **Dove:** Laghetto Parco nord Via Ornato– Milano, porta un telo perché staremo sul prato. 💸 **Contributo:** 5€ da inviare con paypal o satispay ☕ Consumazioni extra a carico di ciascun partecipante da poter prendere al bar "Sun Strac" sia durante l'evento sia dopo per chi avesse piacere di fermarsi. Un incontro leggero, senza pressioni, pieno di storie, punti di vista e magari anche qualche piccola “cosa che ci salva”. 💛 In caso di maltempo 🌧☂ l'evento verrà rinviato. gruppo whatsapp [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=gi_t)

As the organizer and MC of Divine Comedy Club Milano, he has helped build one of Milan’s first English-language comedy clubs, bringing together local and international comedians in the city’s growing stand-up scene.

She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.

Let’s meet and share discussion of the James Baldwin short story collection, Going to Meet The Man.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
