Alessandro Di Battista brings to the stage the story of the Australian journalist, founder of Wikileaks in "Assange. Hitting one to educate a hundred".

"In the world of the upside down, those who reveal a crime rot in prison and those who committed it remain outside": this is what the former M5S parliamentarian, now a writer and commentator, told Ansa, who in his monologue, directed by Samuele Orini, Loft productions, reconstructs an emblematic story on the boundaries of freedom of the press in modern Western democracies.

Two dates in Sardinia, Wednesday 6 November at 8:30 pm at the Teatro Massimo in Cagliari for the Pezzi Unici festival and Thursday 7 November at 9 pm at the Ama - Auditorium Multidisciplinare in Arzachena, in Gallura, again under the banner of Cedac, artistic direction by Valeria Ciabattoni.

"I have been working on the Assange case for years," explains Di Battista, "and when I realized that the world of mainstream journalism seemed to be disinterested, I decided to write this monologue to use theatrical language to tell the story of a man persecuted for doing his job, publishing news of public interest."

"My Assange is not a show, but a way of doing counter-information - he adds - trying to unmask the lies of the so-called democratic world."

As for his next theatre engagements, Di Battista announces: «I am writing a text on the tragedy of the Palestinians in Gaza».
