On October 1, 2024, the Teatro Malibran will host an extraordinary event as part of the VI edition of the “Festival delle Idee”, in collaboration with Savà–Produzioni Creative. The performance, titled “Imperfette, l’importanza di sbagliare” (Imperfect, the importance of making mistakes), features two prominent voices: scientist and essayist Antonella Viola and philosopher and commentator Maura Gancitano.
“Imperfette – l’importanza di sbagliare ” is a compelling exploration of the beauty and significance of imperfection. Through a unique fusion of Philosophy and Biology, the performance delves into how errors have shaped our world—from the birth of life itself to the present day. It highlights how some of the most remarkable scientific discoveries, often born out of chance and mistakes, have contributed to our understanding of the world, while also drawing inspiration from the profound words of Simone de Beauvoir.
Antonella Viola and Maura Gancitano guide the audience on a journey that celebrates imperfection, uncertainty, and the creative potential of errors. Their dialogue explores the poignant beauty of existence, a world where perfection is an illusion and where the complexity of life is embraced. As De André poignantly reminds us, “Nothing is born from diamonds”, this performance underscores the value of the unexpected and the imperfect in shaping our lives and our planet.
This event promises to be a thought-provoking and inspiring experience, blending science, philosophy, and art to challenge our perceptions and celebrate the inherent flaws that make life so uniquely beautiful. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with two of Italy’s most passionate and insightful thinkers at the Teatro Malibran.
