a book and dvd by Fabrica-Piccola Biblioteca Oscar Mondadori

Where: Librarsi bookstore, Contrà delle Morette 4-Vicenza, 9:00 p.m.
What: Announcement
Edited by Fabrica and published by Mondadori, "Rocinha. Racconti di favela" is a book and Dvd about life in Rocinha, the world’s biggest slum, on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. A real city within a city, both real and surreal at the same time, as seen in the documentary. The movie was made by Fabrica’s young video-makers filming in houses and schools, in the depths of a city that it is impossible to imagine, looking into the lives of some of its inhabitants.
Later the writers from Fabrica’s creative writing department made up some stories drawing inspiration from Rocinha’s real personalities seen in the documentary. They took to heart the principle according to which romantic lies and fictional truths balance each other out and blend, authorizing the process that recreates a parallel and believable reality through imagination (a process that boasts many followers in the history of literature).
