Brussels folks – if you're free tonight and feel like some tears, some laughs, and some reflections on trauma, parents, masculinity, and identity - I'm performing my one-man show tonight at @pianofabriek – some places still left :)

Beautiful piece about my one-man show #PiecesofaMan - thanks to @URealfonzo!! Catch the piece tonight if you're in Brussels at @pianofabriek

[Ugo Realfonzo @URealfonzo]

I spoke to @david_labi ahead of his performance in Brussels for Pieces of a Man – an intimate depiction of his father Marcello, an Italian jew who was taken as a child by the Nazis and put into a concentration camp.

Thank you Giuseppe!! 😍🥰

If you are in Brussels next Thursday I proudly recommend to join me for this theatre piece by @david_labi. It's an amazing rollercoaster of fun and emotions. A cathartic experience!

Under capitalism, four times more productive capacity is mobilized to produce SUVs than to produce public transit. In the middle of an ecological emergency. "Rational" and "efficient" are not words I would use to describe this arrangement.

Thrilled to co-create later this month with some tremendous climate-focused activists and artists.

Brave and important work in face of absolute shithousery from that shithouse of a UK govt. Lucky there are people who do the real work of evaluating and measuring migration of asylum seekers, thank you @refugeecouncil

[Refugee Council 🧡 @refugeecouncil]

🧵 Today we publish a report showing that the majority of those men, women and children who cross the Channel on small boats would be granted asylum in the UK because they are fleeing war and persecution. Here’s how the Home Office tried to rubbish our report last night….

Four activists are occupying a critical piece of @Shell’s oil equipment.

We demand justice for communities impacted by the climate chaos Shell has caused. #MakeShellPay

So brilliant

Staggeringly horrific -- incredibly vulnerable children kidnapped in the UK under the nose of the Home Office despite repeated warnings from police. The UK govt's hatred for asylum seekers is murderous

After Jair Bolsonaro legalized mining in Brazil's Yanomami reserve, indigenous leaders warned a genocide was underway. Thousands of gold miners poisened their rivers with mercury. Pres. Lula is there assesing the damage today. 539 children have died. Many more are gravely ill.

In 10 days, 70,000 UCU members will stand shoulder to shoulder with 500,000 workers from across the UK taking strike action.

Teachers, civil servants and rail workers alongside us.

RT if you stand with every single worker who finds the courage to fight back.

[Rick Zedník @RickZednik]

#PiecesofaMan, @David_Labi’s 1-man show, is a tour de force. He tells his father’s traumatic, enigmatic story through dramatic interpretation & multi-media, weaving in humour, history, & disarming honesty. If you can see this show, go.
