MR. G ALREADY KNEW EVERYTHING...

An excursus through Gaber's work, amidst his prophecies/distopias which have sometimes come true in a bewildering manner and the sideways visions of our lives, filled with daily habits and quirks, miseries and aspirations, the political and the personal. We take this from the beginning of the second part of his career, a time when he took the texts, his own and those of Sandro Luporini, on endless theatrical tours across Italy, where the audience also participated as was the custom then, standing up to voice their opinions, even in open contradiction with the artist who sometimes emerged battered, other times not. Nowadays, one would prefer to give him a like on Feisbucc or become one of his haters, as it seems that nobody expresses anything in public anymore, limiting themselves to hiding behind a nickname or a small finger. I sometimes find myself wondering what he would think about this or that event; I really would be curious to know, so...
