Ethics is not in vogue, lies prevail
Magda Poli, “Corriere della Sera”, September 18th 2025

“[…] On stage, a microphone, a lectern, a small bottle, and her in a costume that is often painted with lights. Tomšič tells us about Brecht’s political-literary essay, a 5-point manual for writing in times of dictatorship or how to do it at all times. Perfect in his talk of truth and dissemination objectives, very problematic today when, thanks to sophisticated technologies, truth becomes lies and vice versa, and information runs wild on the web, uncontrollable and contradictory. Ethical rules would be useful, but ethics is not in vogue in our societies. A useless swear word like culture, knowledge, acceptance, hospitality.”
