The myth is presented in the form of tales which, coming from the nights of times long past, have been verbally handed down from generation to generation, and every time they are told they mysteriously return to life. The first myths were told to me by my father, with great seriousness, as thought they were facts that had actually taken place. These stories seemed in any case to be familiar and at the same time I had the sensation of opening a mysterious baggage of behaviour and knowledge fundamental for my future. I often looked at the sky, hoping to see a fight between the three 100-armed giants or see Athena and Cronus… I began to hear a voice which continued my father's tales… perhaps everything began in this way… Chaos, Gaia, Uranus, Cronus, Zeus, the Titans, the Giants… these are the stories which the stars tell us… Growing up I discovered that mankind has always sought to make the stars tell stories… Just like children… Galileo, Newton, Einstein, Hawking… philosophers, scientists, poets. Who knows if they also heard the voices that I hear, even today.
Flavio Albanese

Dedicated to younger audiences and schools, the new show by Flavio Albanese looks into the mysteries of the universe to tell of creation: from stars to planets, from the nearest and most visible galaxies to unknown worlds lost in the infinite darkness. It begins with poetry and myth, with naked-eye observations to new discoveries through the first optical instruments, right up to modern times and the latest scientific theories.
