«Il racconto del Vajont» is the theatrical monologue by Marco Paolini and Gabriele Vacis, published by Garzanti in paperback (142 pages, in Italian).
The book stems from the monologue that Marco Paolini performed across Italy for years. Paolini and Vacis reconstruct the 1963 catastrophe as an avoidable tragedy and dismantle the idea of natural disaster: the dam, the arrogance of the powerful and the thirst for progress caused more than two thousand deaths.
First published in 1997, in the «Narratori moderni formato minore» collection by Garzanti. The text transcribes the over-three-hour monologue that Marco Paolini began performing in 1993.
For readers interested in twentieth-century Italian history and in theatre; the work has been used in schools, squares and cultural circles.
