- 17:59Invisibile meraviglia | Paolo Garimberti | TEDxSassuoloIl naso rosso del clown non nasconde, ma rivela la mia anima e la mia verità. Indossarlo significa mostrare chi sono davvero, con autenticità e unicità. Essere clown è emozionarsi, accettare i propri limiti, ridere di sé stessi, rialzarsi sempre. È amare, stupirsi, e vivere come un poeta in movimento, con occhi da bambino. Paolo Garimberti nasce a Poviglio (RE) nel 1971. Laureato in Economia, è cofondatore della compagnia “Macedonia Clown”, guidata da Don Vittorio Chiari, con cui diffonde la poesia del clown. Finalista al bando “I Teatri del Sacro” 2008 con lo spettacolo su Etty Hillesum, ha all’attivo lavori come Circa un Circo, Arrivano i Clown, NO… EH!. Conduce laboratori di espressività e clownerie per ragazzi ed educatori in scuole e associazioni. Collabora con la Casa delle Storie di Reggio Emilia.

- 14:13Il gusto del sentire.

In un mondo che corre, invito a coltivare il tempo giusto — quel ritmo lento che permette a una carota di diventare dolce o al miso di fermentare con pazienza. " Fabio Vandelli, premiato con un Cappello Guida de L’Espresso, porta in cucina una visione profonda che si traduce in piatti evocativi. Nel suo ristorante Erbavoglio a Modena ridisegna i confini del vegetale, raccontando storie di terra, ecosistemi e memoria.
