SUNDAY JUNE 9th
On the 9th of June we all are called to demand NO BIG SHIPS.
A
great day of mobilization that will aim to besiege the Port of Venice,
the heart of Venetian business and speculation, by means
of a large morning procession. The mobilization efforts will continue
in the afternoon with another important initiative. With the knowledge
that civil disobedience is not a criminal offense, and fortified by the
experience of September 16, 2012, the afternoon
of the 9th will be another opportunity to underline a very simple
concept: BIG SHIPS OUT OF THE LAGOON!
And
we will begin to drive them out, impeding their passage through Venice
by means of a aquatic demonstration, colorful and festive
but at the same time determined and intelligent, an attempt to reconquer
the city and its waters.
For the powers that be, there is no escape.
We will lay siege to them with an old venetian slogan: “Par
Tera e Par Mar."
H 10: Piazzale Roma: Don't board that ship! Procession toward the Port of Venice.
H 16: Everyone in Boats in the Giudecca Canal: Big Ships Out of the Lagoon. For those who don't have a boat, come to the San
Basilio vaporetto stop and ride in ours!
H 16,30: “Con Parmesso Prima de Passar: da che mondo xe mondo invesse de spentonar a Venessia se domanda con
parmesso”, venetian dialect monologue and aquatic theatre presented by Cesare Colonnese (in front of the San Basilio vaporetto stop)
