The man in the flash – Paolo Jannacci
Paolo Jannacci and Stefano Massini presented their song, which denounces deaths at work, “L’uomo nel lampo” at the Sanremo festival as guests. The video was directed and shot by Pablo Benedetti.
Stefano Massini says: “The man in the flash” is a dialogue in music.
There is a father who died very young in an accident at work, one of those who plague our news, without making the news to the point that they no longer cause scandal because work has become a Wild West and rights are a luxury. The habituation to the so-called white deaths is now a fact, and with this piece of theater-song we attempt to lift the veil of narcosis. The song is a small portrait of life, dramatic because it crystallizes an impossible dialogue: from that photograph hanging in the living room, the father never stops talking to his son, who in the meantime grows into the legend of that father who “died in a flash”. It is a new chapter in the collaboration that has linked me to Paolo Jannacci for years, and which since 2020 has seen us in theaters throughout Italy with the replicas of “Storie” at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan. This collaboration makes me even more proud since it is part of a civil commitment, the one on the so-called “white” deaths, which I have denounced many times also for family reasons.”.
Paolo Jannacci adds: “Being able to protect and protect ourselves in the world of work frees us from the pettiness that often dominates us. “The man in the flash” is a small contribution in a poetic key, so as not to forget those who died at work and to always keep on guard, because our lives depend on him. Italy is a democratic republic founded on work, but we often forget this. I can’t say anything else because I’m just an acrobat… But we know: acrobats have always told bitter truths.”
