Loris Avella – Hefest (Mili Dueli 2023 – Grand Final)

HEFEST
(montenegrino)

Ljudi koje sam volio
i koji su me napustili
odnijeli su nešto.
Umjesto da vratim
nedostajuće djelove,
da se ponovo suočim
sa besmislenim ciklusom:
dopustio sam sebi postati sušan.
Pustinja sam sad:
prostrana,
tiha i lijepa
pod neprestanom svjetlošću;
opsjednuta duhovima,
čuvarima mog srca,
i riznicom poezije.
Prostran,
u vječnom iščekivanju,
razarač zidina
i monumentalne zakletve,
skrivam polomljene statue
ispod svog pijeska.

EFESTO
(italiano)

Le persone che ho amato
e che mi hanno lasciato
hanno portato via qualcosa.
E invece di far tornare
le mie parti mancanti
per affrontare un’altra volta
questo assurdo ciclo
mi son lasciato diventare arido.
Ora sono un deserto,
vasto,
silenzioso e bello
sotto un costante chiarore,
infestato dai fantasmi
custode del mio cuore
e scrigno di poesie.
Vasto,
in perenne attesa,
distruttore di mura
e monumentale giuramento,
nascondo statue rotte
sotto le mie sabbie.

I was born in a seaside town, Naples, and for this I am very close, I love its scent and all its mysteries, I have been doing theater since the age of 6 and I have written many screenplays that I have staged together with my theater group, I studied art and I like to tattoo pictorial or sculptural works on my arms, I work in the hospital as OSS and I am passionate about mythology and the writer Amelie Nothomb

What would bring peace and equality would be to bring theater, poetry and travel to schools, knowledge should not be scary, opening the world to equality should not be a crime or something difficult and bring to school attention the bullying treatment of pre-adolescent boys on their physical differences and sexual preferences by holding monthly conferences leading to discover the LGBTQ+ world

1) Tangle, collection of poems on equality
2) Jennifer in disco, bildungsroman about the LGBTQ+ world
