Building territories using different narrative platforms
Interactive Presentation
Flavio Stroppini (author of prose, poetry and reportages) will present: Walking Stories, Building territories using written, audio, and visual narratives that aim at addressing the meaning of “traveling”. Mr. Stroppini will present some of his most successful projects. Among these, the outstanding Il Viaggio di Arnold, which describes the journey that brought Stroppini from a little village called Andermatt in Switzerland, to the little Greek Island of Iraklia. This journey retraces the path that a mysterious man, Arnol Hünsperger, took in 1974. Stroppini will also introduce one of his new projects, S14, which brings together four Swiss authors coming from the four different speaking parts of the country.
What does “traveling” mean? How can we tell about it? Narrative pictures: written, audio or visual. Think about it: there is a map on your table. Over there, close to you, there is a new world to explore. A stranger’s geography to make yours so that you can talk about it. Everywhere there is a story, a new world that is different and similar to ours at the same time. That’s my way. To tell the story, I cross countries by public transportation. I cross borders by foot, then I let lose. Reportages, romances, radio dramas, documentaries and theaters. All of my projects are based on storytelling. Every story follows a river, an idea, a new path. And then, when someone asks me if I am running away, I realize I need to go home. To talk about it.
