Massimo Recalcati, Federica Fracassi
The son’s secret
Following his essential and successful analyses of the father and mother figures in contemporary society, Massimo Recalcati premieres a show based on his latest book – directed by Renzo Martinelli, with readings by Federica Fracassi and performances by a children’s choir – at Festival della Mente, completing an ideal trilogy focused on the figure of the child. A child’s splendor lies in his secret, which eludes the rhetoric of empathy and dialogue that is central in today’s normative culture. A child is a unique existence, distinct and untraceable to his or her parents. Against all forms of authority and a falsely libertarian pedagogy which aims to cancel out the symbolic difference between generations, Recalcati reiterates the child’s right to keep the secret of his or her life and desires.
