La lezione di Rachel Carson

In this moving theatrical tale, Laura Curino offers her voice to the words of the mother of American environmentalism. Born in 1907 on a Pennsylvania farm, Rachel Carson had never seen the sea until her early twenties, when she decided to specialise in marine biology, maturing over time not only a profound knowledge of the oceans, but also a sharp and poetic writing style. Among his most famous essays are still topical and urgent The Sea Around Us (1951) and Silent Spring (1962), in which he was the first to denounce the degradation of the environment and landscape, shaking consciences all over the world.
