Arriving at Triennale is the initiative—conceived by under-30s—aimed at exploring the theme of trust in individual and collective capacities, helping to overcome the sense of inadequacy in a chaotic present. The goal is to create an intergenerational dialogue around the concept of trust, bringing the perspective and contribution of the younger generation to the topic.
The program
7 pm
From Indifference to Restlessness
With: Samuele Cornalba, writer, and Teodoro Cohen, philosopher
Introduction: Francesca Fimeroni
Moderation: Francesca Monti
Samuele Cornalba and Teodoro Cohen explore the sense of disorientation felt by younger generations. The "living in an almost", described by Cornalba in his debut novel Bagai, portrays a suspended existence, where indifference becomes a barrier against a world that is difficult to decipher. Cohen, in his book L’epoca dell’intranquillità, proposes a different approach—engaging directly with reality and learning to cultivate an active unease. A dialogue on the importance of listening and proximity, as a way to counteract the paralysis of resignation.
9 pm
Trust is good, but not trusting is better?
Stand-up comedy show with comedians Serena Bongiovanni, Edoardo Confuorto, Xhuliano Dule, and Yoko Yamada
Introduction: Francesca Monti
Trust is a serious matter—but who says we can't talk about it with a smile? This evening of laughter and reflection will dive into the central theme of Soul with a group of comedians taking turns on stage to explore everyday gestures, popular sayings, and clichés about trust. An experiment in ironic and irreverent deconstruction—not to spread distrust, but to shed some light on it.
