IL CORAGGIO DEL PROPRIO TEMPO
“Gli uomini e i Valori del Movimento Moderno”
Designmuseum, Korkeavuorenkatu 23. Helsinki
Conceived, written and directed by Paola Albini, it is the story of the implied (inner) values related to the
origin of the Modern Movement and Design.
Maria Brandon Albini’s text, “La Gibigianna”, is the theme: an overview of Italy between the two World Wars
and of the intellectuals of the time.
The text is integrated to many others by Albini, Pagano, Persico, BBPR, Ponti, Palanti, Gardella…
Videos and pictures of the time go along with the play (composed by letters, articles and publications of the
different archives) to illustrate the political and cultural spirit during the period.
