While waiting to get back to full health and play tennis, the "Pianoforte in Ateneo" concert series returns this week with Pietro de Maria, a former winner of the Geza Anda competition (possibly the most demanding, if not sadistic, piano competition in the world, since it draws on a huge repertoire and the pianists only know last minute what they are expected to play). In line with the spirit of the Geza Anda competition, Pietro de Maria's recital will offer plenty of variety, as he plays works by Bach, Vacchi, the famous Sonata op. 25 n. 5 by Clementi, two Lieder by Schubert (transcribed by Liszt), mazurkas, ballade n.4 and scherzo n.2 by Chopin. Entrance is free ( registration at [https://www.eventbrite.it/e/biglietti-pietro-de-maria-il-pianoforte-in-ateneo-1982869000558](https://www.eventbrite.it/e/biglietti-pietro-de-maria-il-pianoforte-in-ateneo-1982869000558) is recommended, in order to allow Cattolica University to have an idea of how many people will attend, but not mandatory ) Meeting point: 20:30 at the university entrance or possibly 19:15 near Cadorna, for a pre-concert aperitivo.

**[PRENOTAZIONI QUI](https://www.eventbrite.it/e/il-mio-piccolo-principe-spettacolo-gratuito-di-teatro-ragazzi-tickets-1983885340458?aff=oddtdtcreator)** Un giocattolo. Un aviatore di nome Tonio. Un piccolo principe che vive in un pianeta appena più grande di lui e che un giorno arriva sulla Terra alla ricerca di un amico. Questa è una storia che contiene tante storie, divertenti e commoventi, un po’ matte e un po’ magiche. E’ il racconto di un pierrot trasformista e poeta, che vive dentro un’enorme scatola di giocattoli. Ci sono un re spassoso e uno strano vanitoso, un Arlecchino-ubriacone e un lampionaio schiavo del lavoro. Ci sono anche un fiore fragile e bellissimo, unico nell’universo, e una volpe che conosce il segreto dell’amicizia. Dall’incontro del giocattolo-pierrot con gli altri personaggi, nasce una storia che insegna ai grandi come tornare bambini e che spiega ai bambini quanto sono potenti la fantasia e l’amore. I racconti, a volte, cambiano le persone, e il nostro giocattolo si trasformerà, canterà, rotolerà e inventerà e alla fine imparerà che l’essenziale è invisibile agli occhi. Faremo un percorso per comprendere che le storie che ci appartengono, ci vedono protagonisti anche nel silenzio delle persone che ci circondano. Giocheremo a sentirci “abbandonati” per poi “riaddomesticarci” alla vita. Lo spettacolo si propone di accompagnare il bambino/ragazzo in un difficile percorso di riconoscimentodel proprio “piccolo principe” racchiuso nell’animo. Cercheremo di far riassaporare il valore dell’incontro e del vivere sulla propria pelle le situazioni degli altri cercando di riappropriarci di quel valore che è l’amicizia che va al di là dell’“aver bisogno di”. **Spettacolo di e con:** Maurizio Brandalese **Testo:** Fabrizio Tassi **Regia:** Maurizio Brandalese **Tecnica:** Paolo Miloro **Costumi:** Delia Gerli **Scenografie:** Katia Vitali, Brina Babini, **Musiche:** Luca Bettolini, Maurizio Brandalese **Durata:** 60 min **Età consigliata:** 5-11 anni

ReelAbilities Film Festival Screening: Sign the Show Groundbreaking and truly one of a kind, Sign the Show pulls back the curtain on accessibility in entertainment for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Through humorous, heartfelt, and deeply insightful conversations, the documentary challenges assumptions, sparks laughter, and invites audiences to see access not as an add-on — but as essential. By centering lived experiences and honest dialogue, the film redefines what inclusion can look like on screen, on stage, and beyond. It explores the intersection of Deaf culture, performance, creativity, and equity in a way that is both thought-provoking and empowering. Special Live Talkback Discussion Following the screening, we’ll host a live discussion featuring the film’s director, Cat Brewer, joining us virtually via Zoom. She will be joined by Julie Rems Smario (featured in the film), offering behind-the-scenes insights into the making of the documentary, the creative process, and the larger conversation around accessibility in the arts. Accessibility Provided: ASL interpreters and CART captioning will be provided during the talkback to ensure full communication access for all attendees. Hosted at the Northern Virginia Resource Center for Deaf & Hard of Hearing Persons (NVRC), this event promises not only a compelling film experience but also a meaningful community conversation. Come ready to laugh, reflect, ask questions, and leave thinking differently about access and representation

The Eureka Day School in Berkeley, California, is a bastion of progressive ideals: **representation, acceptance, social justice**. In weekly meetings Eureka Day’s five board members develop and update policy to preserve this culture of inclusivity, reaching decisions only by consensus. But when a mumps outbreak threatens the Eureka community, **facts become subjective and every solution divisive**, leaving the school’s leadership to confront the central question of our time: **How do you build consensus when no one can agree on truth?**
