Nella lingua e nella spada (On the tongue and on the sword) is a project inspired by the love affair and lives of the news reporter/writer Oriana Fallaci and the revolutionary politician and Greek poet Alekos Panagulis. A ‘melodrama’ combining sensations taken from the recent history of the characters and echoes of the ancient Greek tragedy: the tale of modern and contemporary Greece told through a sung speech that takes its cue from the pages of Fallaci’s work entitled Un Uomo and from the verses of Panagulis.
