"suspended between heaven and earth" is one of the projects on civil rights made by the Cultural immaginARTE, with special guests: MINA WELBY and Beppino Englaro. Precious witnesses willing to confront and describe a path of struggle as a true hymn to life. Through an artistic moment
play, entitled "Suspended Between Earth and Sky", also supported by video images, actress Stefania Mulè, who is also director, offers a journey through the words from texts such as strong and moving "The Life Without Limits "Beppino Englaro and" Ocean Terminal "of Piergiorgio Welby, who tell stories of life so dense to offer us the possibility of comparison, sharing and analysis on the topic of living wills.
Two clinically different events but united by a common goal pursued by Beppino Englaro and Mina Welby:
the struggle for the right to decide over their own lives in a secular state.
■ January 18, 1992: Eluana, just twenty-one, becomes the victim of a serious car accident that reduces in a permanent vegetative state. Beppino Englaro, in his book "Life without Limits" traces the life of his daughter, memories of her and her letters, recounts the history of man Reserved, forced by events to convey a silent people, suspended between the life and death and the touching story of a denied paternity, but especially the indictment of a man who has felt abandoned by the state in the difficult time of painful choices. In "Eluana. Freedom and life, "Beppino Englaro, along with Elena Ship, tells the story with simplicity and passion of this long battle by clearly defining the pseudoscientific myths used to disorient the public and explain a reality that could fall upon anyone and does not can leave no one indifferent.
■ July 1997: Piergiorgio Welby, who suffers from muscular dystrophy, progressive disease that crippled him and allowing him to live only with a respirator and a feeding tube liquid from a recovery room, he began to write "Ocean Terminal in which Welby" rewind the tape "of his life. This experience will be born "The last act of love" Mina Welby, a book of love is not conventional, in which they reconstructed the circumstances of a case whose legal and social issues still waiting to be addressed and that recounts the story of two lovers try to beat the disease by writing together, day after day, a love story unrepeatable.
