-
Seeing, looking - they are nothing unless you enter people's heart.
-
The eyes are the entrance to the heart.
-
Because that's where truth, obscured by image, comes from.
-
I saw very well, once, you know.
-
Then, because of a very banal blow on the head, I was able to
-
become totally blind and to enter a new world,
-
the world of exaltaion, emotions, sounds, smells...
-
But also of my being within a body I do not see any longer.
-
And often, I'm not even quite sure where it is.
-
Artù, let's shut the last one and we'll be done.
-
So...
-
First the inside flaps...
-
Scotch tape is here.
-
Artù, you bet I make it at the first go?
-
No.
-
She sings: Coming Round Again
-
Song: Coming Round Again
-
Clapping
-
(voice synthesis) I miss you a lot too.
-
This morning I went to the beach, it seemed I was smelling your perfume.
-
I turned round abruptly, and for an instant I had the illusion that ou were here.
-
(voice synthesis) I was on the other side of the world, Lauda.
-
(voice synthesis) It's difficult for me too, I feel I can't manage
-
to give you what you need.
-
I want to hear the sound of your voice.
-
Can we hear each other by phone?
-
She's not here yet. You know what?
-
I'll finish the audio book I started three days ago.
-
Rather than an audio book, it's one of the old radio dramas made by RAI
-
before it became the slave of the government.
-
Did I tell you that, Artù? It's called "The Glass Menagerie".
-
Written by Tennessee Williams, an American playwright.
-
The main character limps, and instead of going
-
to the typing lessons her mother registered her for,
-
she spends all her time in the park or at the movies.
-
Happy she. Her name is Laura, eh?
-
Do you understand what nice couple we are, I and this Laura?
-
She limps, and I'm blind.
-
"Glass menagerie", because of the glass knickknacks she keeps on her coffee table.
-
Another coincidence. I hadn't noticed it!
-
Artù, let's go and listen how this story ends. Let's go.
-
You teach him to say "Sorry, please, thank you."
-
Behave, Artù.
-
Is it your car? Don't you know parking on the pedestrian crossing is forbidden?
-
You went to the tobacconist's for a minute? And thus you are justified?
-
You mustn't park on the pedestrian crossing.
-
The dog is trained to guide me to the pedestrian crossing.
-
If you cover them with your car, tell me what it can see?
-
And what should I do? Stay here for the whole day because you must go to the tobacconist's for a minute?
-
And what if a wheelchair must get by? How can the person manage?
-
I am exaggerating?
-
It's nothing?
-
Putting the helmet on ten minutes before the accident
-
that changes your life... Food for thought.
-
I put it on exactly ten minutes before I flew off.
-
I'd just taken it out of the box.
-
I was shutting and... LOUD NOISES
-
LOUD RHYTHMICAL MUSIC
-
I can no longer go out when I want to.
-
I can no longer decide: "I'm fed up, I'm leaving."
-
I can no longer read with my eyes
-
a good novel, but neither an ad for a washing-up liquid.
-
And no text-to-speech will read me the things I wrote by hand.
-
I won't be able to see Rome anymore... And here I should stop.
-
What else do you want to say? Rome....
-
I never missed an exhibition.
-
Escher, Dalì, Artemisia Gentileschi.
-
Caravaggio... And who can forget those bodies.
-
Those lines, those colors...
-
Those emotions.
-
I'd enter a church, or a museum, and I lost myself in all this beauty.
-
I lost myself.
-
(With a Roman accent:) Are we making a comedy? Are you joking?
-
Artù, let's make a comedy! And how should I call it?
-
Why can't I call it a comedy?
-
Theater show or drama?
-
We might as well call it a tragedy.
-
Crisis - equals - danger.
-
Crisis - equals - opportunity.
-
Crisis - equals - danger. Crisis - equals - opportunity.
-
LOUD RHYTHMICAL MUSIC
-
Are you calling me about the insurance?
-
No, I don't intend to meet you, I don't live in Rome anymore.
-
How dare you call me? After such a long time!
-
I thought a lot about you too, you know?
-
I thought about you and your white Mercedes.
-
Every day, for all these years, your white Mercedes greets me.
-
Every morning, you know?
-
But what are you doing? You're crying? I haven't cried for a long time.
-
And in an instant life... Your life, mine....
-
can change.
-
Forever.
-
But without life
-
which gave me so much
-
Song: Gracias a la vida
-
Clapping
-
Clapping
-
Good night, everybody, and thanks for being here.
-
I hope you enjoyed the show.
-
I'd like to thank Elena, who was excellent.
