In Lecce, the texts were adapted into a literary-musical soundscape by the Tosunian ensemble (Filippo Caniato and Marco Saracino) together with musicians Daniele Carcassi, Matilde Davoli and Caterina Dufì.

In December 2025, a reading performance with Marko Miladinović followed as part of the ‘Zurigo in italiano’ initiative, as well as two further public readings in Zurich.

Fabiano Alborghetti (CH): ‘Anagrafe degli eroi senza nome’ - a monologue for all those to whom no legend or myth has ever been consecrated.

Maria Grazia Calandrone (I): ‘EXTÁS, Teresa d'Avila’ - a monologue about the rapture of St Teresa.

Zora del Buono (CH): ‘Lycosa tarantula’ - a monologue of tarantulas, whose bite is capable of triggering a dancing frenzy, and who foresee a great drought.

Andrea Donaera (I): ‘Grima’ - a monologue on Mallatrone, a wooden figure that can still be seen today in the Chiesa da San Francesco in Gallipoli.

Begoña Feijoo Fariña (CH): ‘Il coraggio di Enea’ - a monologue in homage to a father figure who ‘like Aeneas watched over the journey and the sleep of those travelling with him.’

Doris Femminis (CH): ‘Carissima anima’ - a monologue for the countless possibilities available to a soul for concrete expression in the individual.

Michele Mari (I): ‘Scarecrow’ - a monologue about the nightmarish horror of scarecrows that symbolise existential emptiness.

Andrea Martina (I): ‘Dentro una lacrima’ (Inside a tear) - a monologue with the last thoughts of Argos, the dying hunting dog of Odysseus.

Marko Miladinovic (CH): ‘Milarepadino - Poeta, Ladro, Assassino, Santo’ - a monologue for a poet, thief, murderer and saint.

Carmen Nolasco (I): ‘Le parole della Sibilla’ - a monologue for the Cumaean Sibyl, who wants to be heard in the present.

The literary contributions were first performed in October 2025 at the AVANT Festival in Lecce. The TOSUNIAN collective interpreted the texts in the form of a literary-musical soundscape. This was followed on 11 December 2025 by an initial reading performance in Zurich as part of the ‘Zurigo in italiano’ initiative, as well as two further events.
