After Nannetti, the Astral Colonel and Giovanni!… while awaiting the bomb, Gustavo Giacosa draws a new portrait on stage, that of Melina Riccio, known as M., a woman driven by a mission: to rebuild Paradise on Earth.Through her artistic interventions in the cities she passes through—songs, poetry, graffiti, embroidery—M. hopes to save nature and humanity from destruction. She wants to “stitch the world back together.”Gustavo Giacosa has collected and archived, step by step, the fragile traces left behind by this outsider artist, transforming them into a performance freely inspired by their encounter and relationship.
