Aram Kian, Roman mother, Iranian father, Italian citizenship, brings to the stage the memories of his childhood and adolescence spent in Sinago, an imaginary town on the outskirts of Milan and a symbol of the suburbs of northern Italy. The most salient events of the 1980s and 1990s form the background to his personal stories. A classic childhood of the eighties, lived in the industrial suburbs of a large northern city; a banal nineties adolescence, seasoned with grunge music, student parades and disco nights; a common youth, made up of inconclusive university years and work that cannot be found. Typical portrait of an Italian thirty-year-ol; except that when the thirty-year-old in question is called Aram and has an Iranian father, things get complicated. Poised between enchantment, irony and tragedy, Synagosyty tells the story of the new Italians, the children of immigrants, the so-called "second generations". Through the voice of the leading actor Aram Kian, Gabriele Vacis builds a text that is an excerpt of life and memory and, together, a look at the future of a society that learns, day by day, to give meaning to the adjective " multiethnic"
