Wednesday, October 8, 2025,
at the radio station at Grande Caffè Bistrot in Lugano…
Fifth Episode:
Possiamo scegliere…di tornare in una terra che non c’è più? – Can we choose… to return to a land that no longer exists?
Today, at the pop-up studio, the entire 2025 editorial team is joined by old friends Jay and Linda for a special episode.
Listening, Ritual, Return. These are the themes that the young people explored, guided by the visions evoked by Épique ! (Pour Yikakou) by Nadia Beugré and accompanied by traditional Eritrean music shared by Tiras. The group reflects on the connection we have with our origins and the need to rediscover what remains of what has been lost, and perhaps even forgotten, in order to restore a lost sacredness.
In the second part, the dialogue opens up to the young people from the last edition of Keep FIT with Radio to remember Santiago, friend and artist, together. Memory becomes presence, nostalgia becomes healing. At the console, Irma accompanies each voice with empathy and delicacy, giving shape to an intense and luminous episode, suspended between the visible and the invisible.
Playlist:

Every day, our journalists take turns in the following groups:
RED-GIA: takes care of all the radio direction, manages the live broadcast, and selects the music related to the title and the theme of the episode.
R.E.D.: They are the editors of the show. They write and define every detail of the text and will be the main hosts of the show.
ACTION: They do the fieldwork by interviewing the audience and the artists before and/or after the show. They invite artists and/or critics to participate in our live radio broadcasts.
REDRUM: They are the actual theatre critics. Redrum, does that sound eerily familiar? Yes, yes, The Shining, the mirror, that word, redrum, which when read backwards becomes MURDER. Our critics shouldn’t be afraid to criticise, even to crush, but they can only do so by arguing to the utmost and knowing all aspects of the performance and the company in depth.
PIANETA ROSSO/RED PLANET: This section literally takes us into another world… It will be the point of view from outside the festival and the theatre. Our lateral thinking, based on the theme and title of the episode we will propose all the suggestions that animate us and that we would like to suggest to you listeners.
