Through Festival: Terconauti

Through Festival gets into full swing with appointments throughout the provinces of Cuneo, Asti and Alessandria.

A kaleidoscope of events ranging from meetings with journalists and writers such as Vittorio Zincone and Gianrico Carofiglio, to world-opening performances such as the environmental music reading by Cristiano Godano (Marlene Kuntz) and Telmo Pievani, and the Terconauti show on autism.

Reflections on the future of museums in the digital transition are also addressed with the director of the Egyptian Museum of Turin Christian Greco.

Two distinct approaches to language emerge with Alessandro Bergonzoni and sociolinguist Vera Gheno.

Terconauti

In the charming village of Calamandrana Alta (AT), nestled in the green hills of Asti, the protagonists are siblings Damiano and Margherita Tercon, together with Philipp Carboni, better known as the Terconauti.

Staged on the evening of Tuesday, July 16, with “A Story of Normal Autism,” the show mixes cabaret, comedy sketches, dialogues with the audience, video projections and opera singing.

Damian, 40, who is autistic and an aspiring opera singer, is supported by Margherita, his sister and sidekick who helps him realize his dreams. Philipp, nicknamed “the slave,” is Margherita‘s boyfriend, eager to be of help to the couple.

The show deals withautism and relationships from a comedic perspective, alternating with moments of reflection.

The Terconauts show their daily lives with an autistic person, highlighting their normality and debunking prejudices and stereotypes about the autism spectrum.

Focusing on potential rather than limitations, they talk about individuals rather than diseases, offering a humorous and loving perspective on sensitive issues such asautism.
