**[PRENOTAZIONI QUI](https://16maggio-abnormal-danielacarta-slowmill.eventbrite.it/)** AB-Normal, la stand-up comedian seziona con un bisturi arrugginito (ma sterilizzato col Gin Tonic) tutto ciò che la società ci spaccia per ordinario, rassicurante e, appunto, normale. Un’autopsia satirica sulla dittatura della “normalità”, a partire dal più grande dogma della società moderna: l’anima gemella. Dalle dinamiche tossiche delle coppie che scambiano pigrizia e paura di morire soli coi gatti per romanticismo, alla genitorialità e adozioni, al razzismo fino al paradosso del sesso moderno: una performance acrobatica tra ansia da prestazione e tutorial su TikTok. Con una comicità scorretta e senza filtri, lo show esplora il concetto di diversity non come uno slogan da ufficio marketing, ma come il caos meraviglioso e imbarazzante che ci rende umani. Perché, ammettiamolo: in un mondo che ci vuole tutti “standard”, essere AB Normal non è un difetto di fabbrica. È l’ultima forma di resistenza. Uno show per chi ha il coraggio di ridere del proprio riflesso, specialmente quando è deformato. **CHI E’ DANIELA CARTA?** Daniela Carta registra per la trasmissione Comedy Central nel 2025. E’ milanese di nascita ma multiregionale di origine. Si divide così tra l’attitudine solare alla vita e l’intolleranza ai comportamenti del genere umano: un bipolarismo acrobatico che la porta verso la comicità. Porta in scena il suo primo spettacolo di stand up comedy Fuori Target nel 2023-24 e attualmente è in tour con il secondo spettacolo La Barbie e la Bestia. Sulla sua tomba le scriveranno “credette sempre nella uguaglianza delle persone, ma purtroppo ci credette anche la morte”. fb/instagram: **[@danielacarta.papercomedy](http://www.instagram.com/danielacarta.papercomedy)**

**[PRENOTAZIONI QUI](https://www.eventbrite.it/e/freddie-torta-e-jenny-pizzarelli-spettacolo-gratuito-di-teatro-ragazzi-tickets-1989196067987?aff=oddtdtcreator)** **…è arrivato in città il più famoso ladro di merendine!** La Pasticceria Pizzarelli è la migliore della città. Tutti i bambini vanno matti per i dolci naturali e biologici cucinati da Genny. Un brutto giorno in città giunge Freddie Torta, un famigerato ladro di merendine. La passione per i dolci di qualità lo porta a derubarla continuamente, portandola sull’orlo del fallimento. Le forze di polizia non s’interessano granché al caso, ma l’industria GalaktiKa che opera nel settore dolciario sì. Di lì a poco apre una rivendita di prodotti preconfezionati proprio di fronte alla celebre pasticceria. Cosa ne sarà della Pizzarelli? Uno spettacolo divertente che invita bambini e genitori a riflettere sulla necessità di cibi sani. Una storia per i piccoli che affronta il complesso rapporto tra quantità e qualità del cibo. Una pièce che informa, che fa riflettere e pone l’accento su questioni urgenti e “salutari” che prevedono l’impegno in prima persona di ciascuno di noi, come dimostra il finale a sorpresa dello spettacolo. **Spettacolo:** ideato, prodotto, messo in scena da **Alessandro Tacconi** **Con:** Maria Carolina Nardino **Pubblico:** bambini 4-10 anni **Durata:** 60 min

The idea is to meet at **Next Bar in Via Crema 7** (Very close to P.ta Romana underground station / yellow line) at **18:00** and hang out there for some time. You can also enjoy drinks and eat for 13 Euros (p.s. the buffet is mind-blowing). Guests are required to buy their first drink upon entry. I kindly encourage you to RSVP during the week if you can. I really hope to meet you on Saturday! Don't worry if you can't see many people who've RSVPed, the event is advertised on other platforms, so there will be plenty of people to mingle with. When you get there ask for **Riccardo**. Feel free to WhatsApp me at **+39 334 283 1963** During the event, you'll have the opportunity to join our WhatsApp group by scanning QR codes displayed on the tables to stay in touch.

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event!

Should be another good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan

By popular demand, the group wanted to read and discuss the semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, that inspired the Truffaut movie we watched last year. The book is available through the Columbus Library's interlibrary loan system. They reported there are twenty-eight copies available in the state of Ohio. If you have a library card, you can file an interlibrary loan request here: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/library-services/ . There are also used copies available on Amazon and eBay for under twenty dollars. You may want to rewatch the movie after reading the book, so we can compare and contrast in our discussion. The Columbus Library has four copies on DVD, and it's streaming on HBOMax.

IMPORTANT INFO: I strongly suggest not reading anything about it online before seeing it. It's best viewed with no previous knowledge.

The documentary explores the events and investigation into an unknown person [cyberbully](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberbullying "Cyberbullying") and [harassing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harassment "Harassment") teenagers in [Beal City, Michigan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beal_City,_Michigan "Beal City, Michigan") using an unknown number via insults and sexual claims. It also explores the increasingly great impact of the harassment on the community, the eventual reveal of the culprit, and the trial that followed. Please be ready to discuss the movie by 7PM. We suggest arriving early enough to order and get food beforehand. Thanks. Unfortunately, it is only available on Netflix. If you would like to attend but do not have Netflix, say so and maybe we can figure something out.
