CONCEPTUAL
NOTES
|
|
Instead of writing books and
stuff, I'd rather preferred to make films. The problem
is that to make films you need (or at least you needed)
film, which is far more expensive than paper. Then you
need actors and many other complex things that require
abnormal quantities of money to be spent. Therefore
I thought that it was easier to write books instead,
and so I did and I do. However, now and then I can't
avoid messing up a bit with a camera, in front of behind
it, or even in front AND behind it at the same time.
Don't expect too much. Anyway, most of the stuff here
is on Italian, but there are a few items on English
as well.

The Universal Principle
Of Paranoia
(Il principio universale di paranoia)
(2002)

June 2002. In a genovese apartment on the beach of
Boccadasse, one evening an unrepeatable conversation
happen. Two extraordinary thinkers of our age, Mario
Quaglia and Alexandru Caragea discuss for the first
time together about maximum systems. What's strange?
Well, in first place they speak different languages
(English an Italian), and theoretically they both do
not understand the language of the other one. In the
second place, they manage to perfectly understand each
others all the same. In the third place... well, those
who'll watch the video will get it. Or not.
Language: Italian-English
Duration: 45 minutes
Performers: Mario Quaglia, Andi Caragea, Popi
Frizziero

Genoa, Springtime 1990. The "Marco Dio Show"
is the adaptation for theatre of a literary work of
Roberto Quaglia. It never went really on stage, exept
just on one evening of springtime 1990, in the form
of a dramatic reading by 13 actors. It's a long story
why it actually went on stage that evening, and I
won't tell it here to you. If you understand Italian,
I'm telling the story on the Italian version of this
page. Luckily, someone made a video, so that that
event didn't disappear into oblivium completely. Unluckily
(for you) every single word spoken in the play - included
the words invented by me - are on Italian.
Story: The Marco Dio Show, originally written
in 1989, it's a TV talk show of the future, where
you can take a peek on what will be going on in the
Italian society in a few decades from now.
