The newly-published Italian edition of the book “The games of Maya” by Delia Steinberg Guzmán arrived in Bologna by means of a special presentation: a theatrical interpretation of its philosophic meaning, sponsored by the Municipality of Bologna – Quartiere Porto Saragozza. The testimonials of the show were four contemporary characters who could emerge within their career, becoming an example for others: the paralympic athlete Martina Caironi, the pathological theatre director Dario D’Ambrosi, the metal musician Jason Becker, the CERN researcher Fabiola Giannotti. Through monologues, they told how they could search and find a direction for their lives, beyond the veils of illusion and the apparent obstacles of life.
