      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>Based loosely on Primo Levi's Il Sistema Periodico, the play is set in a Fahrenheit 451 scenario. In this world without either books or memory, a man of the street arrives with a bundle of not easily decipherable papers: with the help of the narrative voice, of his friends – Science, Technology and Nature – and of two actors at length off-stage, Primo and his friend Alberto, the man succeeds in reconstructing the episode of the story Cerio. Through memory he thus reconstructs the lost identity, that is our history. Science, Technology and Nature allow the man without memory to master scientific knowledge and free himself from his state. The drama finds its catharsis in a poignant passage, inspired by the story Carbonio, which lyrically sets up a temporal link between an atom of carbon from the smoke of a crematorium and the same dwelling within the body of each one of us: a poetic parabola of a science immersed in the life and history of man.</p>

      <abstract xml:lang="it">
        <p>Liberamente tratto da Il Sistema Periodico di Primo Levi, il dramma si ambienta in uno scenario da Fahrenheit 451. In tale mondo senza libri né memoria si affaccia un uomo della strada con dei foglietti non ben decifrabili: con l'aiuto della voce narrante, di suoi amici – Scienza, Tecnologia e Natura – e di due attori a lungo fuori campo, Primo e l'amico Alberto, l'uomo riesce a ricostruire l'episodio del racconto Cerio. Grazie al ricordo si ricostruisce così l'identità perduta, ossia la nostra storia. Scienza, Tecnologia e Natura consentono all'uomo senza memoria di appropriarsi di sapere scientifico ed emanciparsi dal suo stato. Il dramma trova la sua catarsi con un passo commovente, ispirato al racconto Carbonio, che liricamente crea un nesso atemporale fra un atomo di carbonio del fumo di un forno crematorio e il medesimo dimorante nel corpo di qualcuno di noi, parabola poetica di una scienza immersa nella vita e nella storia dell'uomo.

Il dramma è stato messo in scena per la prima volta dalla compagnia teatrale Venti Lucenti all'Aula Magna dell'Università degli Studi di Firenze il 25 gennaio 2012.
