the first European festival on creativity

2019 Programme

Event #38

Lorenzo Jovanotti, Paolo Giordano

Inventing the future

Inventing a new reality, step by step. And every time, inventing oneself. That is what Lorenzo Jovanotti and Paolo Giordano do. The first one through his songs, that, for over thirty years of career, kept in constant change, achieving to anticipate trends and styles via experimental projects. The second one through the imaginary worlds of his novels. Though, it does not exist any invention that is separated from visions of the ones that came before us: from Magellan to Mozart, from Gabriel García Márquez to Joseph Conrad, from Albert Einstein to Jimi Hendrix, every new creation is the complex sum of the intuitions that preceded it. Is it possible to find a curve that can unify those dots and indicate the path of the future?
