On 14 May 1983 at number 101 Viale Monza in Milan, a fire destroyed the Eros cinema, a red light theatre. As a result of the serious injuries sustained, six people died in the following days (five spectators and one rescuer) and none of them were over 40 years old. The malicious nature of the fire was clear, and it was the most serious massacre in Milan, after that in Piazza Fontana.
Event that now the Town Hall 2 can tell in a monologue of about 35 minutes, thanks to the study work carried out byPlantago cultural association in the digital archives, in particular of Corriere della Sera, which allowed us to reconstruct in detail what happened that day.
At the beginning of the 90s the trial ended with two convictions, but was buried in the memory of the city and of the neighborhood itself. Not even those who live a stone's throw from there know anything about it. It is a forgotten massacre, and it will be an opportunity to reflect on the reasons.
The theatrical monologue will be performed in urban scenarios, places of passage, of comings and goings of people and of daily attendance, to meet people and interact with them:
- 10:00 am Park via Padova 256 - corner. via Emo

- 16pm Martesana - via Petrocchi 00

- 20pm Artists' Garden - via Soperga 00
Show with free and open participation.
In case of bad weather, the event will take place on Saturday 16 September 2023, same times and location.
