These thoughts are hymns for joy and happiness, and hymns for giving and giving to others and to oneself, alike to the two. What is important is that this giving be purely for the good and a giving that does not expect to be returned with the same. For our giving to be beautiful and wonderful, we must distribute it like pieces of candy that are distributed to children without any expectation from them to pay. Its price.
It is a call for love, tolerance and familiarity for all, as they are all human values that do not recognize spatial or temporal boundaries. Their boundaries will be drawn after they prevail in a world that needs many stimulating doses of them, and our role is to take these doses one dose after another.
I leave you with some hymns of happiness, away from the world of sorrows and worries, and doses of hope that we have drawn and colored with the colors of happiness.
So young people write today? What topics do they cover? This book may provide a model for what young people think and how they see the world. On this occasion, we return and confirm what was said previously on other occasions: They write themselves, their lost lives in complex worlds so obscure that they are impossible to write. In these three texts, the ego is present, but it gradually turns into a comprehensive “I” that expresses an entire generation. Each of them writes his lived present, but this present is so fast-paced that it is difficult to capture it and express it in a way that fixes it in a specific form. The question that results from this observation: Can these young people actually live their present? The texts contained in the book are part of the product of a playwriting workshop, which we called “Writing for the Stage.” The name is not arbitrary, but rather carries a specific meaning linking the text and the performance, writing and directing on the stage. This workshop was organized by the Citizen Artists Foundation in 2016
