Nel suo coinvolgente intervento Nicola Virdis ci accompagna in un viaggio tra risate, linguaggi e connessioni profonde.
Comico, artista circense e performer internazionale, Nicola ha mostrato al pubblico quanto la comicità sia un linguaggio che supera ogni confine: culturale, geografico, linguistico. Attraverso i suoi iconici personaggi — tra cui il celebre nerd anni '80 — e con un carisma capace di emozionare e far riflettere, ci ha ricordato che comunicare non significa solo parlare, ma saper ascoltare, osservare e connettersi.
Durante i suoi viaggi in giro per il mondo, dalla Spagna alla Romania, dalla Francia alla Germania, Nicola ha sperimentato sulla propria pelle quanto il linguaggio non verbale e l’empatia possano diventare strumenti di relazione potentissimi.
Il suo saluto finale in decine di lingue è un messaggio potente: la comunicazione ci unisce tutti, ovunque siamo.
Finalista di Italia’s Got Talent 2019, con milioni di visualizzazioni grazie al tormentone “Turn Around” e vincitore del Golden Buzzer, oggi Nicola continua a far sorridere e riflettere con il suo stile inconfondibile.
