Terni Festival, last two events: May 28th in the name of theatre, June 6th of music

A theatrical and a musical event characterize the upcoming dates of ”Terni Festival, teaching, innovation, research and territory”.

The Festival intends to enhance the identity of Terni as a university city, through events organized in collaboration between high schools, universities of Perugia and all the living forces of the territory in a collaborative work with students on a single theme, chosen by the students students themselves. In its second edition, the Festival was dedicated to the theme of artificial intelligence and its effects on industry, work and fundamental rights.

Starting from November 2023, the second edition of the Festival saw groups of students from high schools, their teachers and university professors from Perugia interact on insights of their choice. The work is nearing completion: the documents produced are available on the site https://ternifestival.unipg.it/ and will be subject to a public vote.

At the end of the Festival, two further events are planned: Tuesday 28 May 2024, to the Secci Theatre, at 9pm, will go into science “I and AI the modern Ulysses”, written, directed and starring Stefano de Majo.

A text which starts from a group of students from the “Gaio Cornelio Tacito” State Gymnasium High School who were asked to put together a theatrical plot on the theme of Artificial Intelligence. Coordinated by the teacher Fausto Dominici, they created the first draft, which was the basis used by the professional actor Stefano De Majo to write the text that will be brought to the stage. For what aims to be a multi-sensory show perpetually poised between science and dreams, between humanity and artificial intelligence. The new crazy flight of a modern Ulysses towards the stars, because perhaps inside every one there exists an Ai.
