Canto d'acqua di e con Telmo Pievani e Cristiano Godano

The water is in turmoil, it has become unstable.

In some parts of the world there is too little and desertification is on the way.

In other parts of the world there are too many and floods.

Greenhouse gas emissions are increasing rather than decreasing. As it is written in all international agreements, the climate becomes warm and the water is charged with unusual energy.

Atmospheric and marine currents change. Alpine glaciers, permafrost and the Arctic ice cap merge. Humans think there is always enough water, but they do not remember that it is only a small part of the mass of our planet and that this small part is only in minimal fraction drinkable.

As if that were not enough, we are wasting it.

The song of water, interpreted in an artistic and musical key by Cristiano Godano and in a scientific key by Telmo Pievani, is full of concerns, therefore, but also hopes, because it is precisely in the water that we can find, if we have foresight, Bold solutions: renewable energies, solidarity communities, marine protected areas and biodiversity sanctuaries, new technologies.

The great civilizations were born on river water. They considered the water "sacred" precisely because it is ambivalent and amazing, unpredictable nurturer: because it brings life and death at the same time. It would be great if we were able to rebuild, on and from water, a civilization based on respect for nature, greater than us, of which we are part.

To tell the story of the environmental crisis, we need to conjure up new languages and mix them. Scientific storytelling must be mixed with music and poetry. Cristiano Godano and Telmo Pievani combine art and science in their lay prayer for water. Who will make it or who won’t. How important is the narration to be captured by a real emotion?
