Non è facile raccontare la balbuzie senza pietismo, né rabbia. Silvia Gavarotti ci è riuscita. Con la forza quieta di chi ha attraversato l’incertezza del suono e ha trovato, nel canto, un modo per abitare finalmente la voce. Una voce che, prima ancora di uscire, deve trovare spazio dentro. La sua storia parte da lontano, da una famiglia colorata ma difficile, e da un’adolescenza in fuga, vissuta dietro le quinte di un teatro, tra cavi, tir e luci di scena. Eppure è lì, nel rumore dei montaggi e nei silenzi delle quinte, che qualcosa si accende. Dalla balbuzie al palcoscenico, dai teatri lirici alla formazione: oggi aiuto le persone a comunicare con autenticità. Con Power Speaking unisco voce, emozioni e tecniche teatrali per liberare la comunicazione di ogni essere umano.

Il talk esplora il potere nascosto delle grandi aziende tecnologiche — Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Facebook — e il loro ruolo sempre più centrale nella società contemporanea. L’oratore mostra come queste piattaforme, nate per semplificare la vita quotidiana, siano diventate nuovi centri di potere globale, al punto da condizionare non solo i mercati e la politica, ma anche la difesa e la sicurezza militare. Attraverso esempi concreti — come la collaborazione di Amazon e Microsoft con il governo ucraino o il progetto Nimbus tra Google e Israele — il talk rivela come le Big Tech abbiano dato origine a un vero e proprio “complesso militare-digitale”, dove il confine tra pubblico e privato è sempre più labile. La riflessione si allarga poi al piano etico e democratico: se i dati, le infrastrutture digitali e le intelligenze artificiali restano nelle mani di pochi colossi, anche la libertà e la conoscenza collettiva diventano beni privati. Il messaggio finale invita il pubblico a ripensare la proprietà delle tecnologie e a immaginare un futuro digitale che serva la collettività — non solo il profitto o il potere — trasformando la tecnologia in uno strumento di pace e giustizia, non di dominio.
