Prevention … what a show

Stories, songs, emotions, along with serious scientific  information on the dangers of drug use. “Fughe da Fermi” and “Ragazzi Permale” are the touring shows promoted by San Patrignano. On this special occasion they come “home”, along  with the stars of the show, young people who are completing their program of recovery and social reintegration in the Community. They tell their stories of drugs, dependence and freedom.

Fughe da Fermi
This is the living diary of someone who, though words and songs, speaks of their real life experiences. The theatrical narrative structure takes us through references in literature, film and music where the audience becomes progressively more emotionally involved in the story as it goes forward. Stories are interspersed with scientific information on the physical, psychological and social damage done by drugs so as to be perfectly palatable and understandable to everyone. The show is presented by Pascal la Delfa, an actor specializing in theater, multimedia and language.

Ragazzi Permale
A cross between a talk show, theatrical presentation and investigative report, “Ragazzi Permale” is a presentation which addresses young people about the issues with which they struggle on a daily basis – outlining the profile of the kid who is apparently “fine” but who is nevertheless going through a trying time in life, however he may react. The stars of this show are young people aged 18-25 from San Patrignano who have overcome problems of addiction and can explain to their peers what brought them to use drugs as well as what helped them leave addiction behind. The presenter this time is Roman actor, writer and director Francesco Appoloni who has been working with San Patrignano since 2004.

Yes, WeFree! Closing show
We have decided to name the closing musical (and  more) show of our event “Yes, WeFree”. This is the chance for everyone who participated in  the day’s proceedings to sing, dance, draw, paint and express themselves, all together on one stage. The show will be hosted, as it was last year, by Red Ronnie, Italy’s most celebrated TV rock journalist. San Patrignano’s own team of WeFree kids will be on hand, as will the Community’s vocal group, the SanPa Singers. The latter will be accompanied by the famed Mozartini youth orchestra. On the scene we will also see  drumming by Steve Ferraris, dancing by the Mondosole group and the Amico Charly street dancers as well as a performance by UK organization JumpStartMove.
