SUMMARY:The Third Paradise
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, September 12 for a participatory performa
 nce by Matilde Nuzzo and Francesca Malverti (LENSart)\, in collaboration wi
 th Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto\, Italian Cultural Institute of 
 Toronto\, and National accessArts Centre.\n\nThis performance is created by
  the people who attend. Through simple movement and shared actions\, partic
 ipants will come together to form The Third Paradise symbol. Attendees are 
 encouraged to wear a plain white shirt.\n\nIn a society where physical and 
 social distances often turn into mistrust\, how do we find our way back to 
 one another?\n\nInspired by the vision of famous Italian artist Michelangel
 o Pistoletto\, The Third Paradise is a live\, socially engaged art performa
 nce that uses human connection to bridge our differences. Pistoletto’s sy
 mbol—three connected loops—represents the idea that when two distinct w
 orlds meet\, they don’t erase each other. Instead\, they unite to create 
 a balanced\, shared future.\n\nThis performance brings together neurotypica
 l and neuroatypical participants—children and adults alike—to occupy a 
 shared collective space. True inclusion isn’t about asking people to fit 
 into a mold\; it’s about walking a common road while celebrating the uniq
 ue rhythm of every individual.\n\nThrough quiet coordination\, visual signa
 ls\, and shared movement\, performers will physically form the Third Paradi
 se symbol. By standing side-by-side\, we move past the fear of “the diffe
 rent” and demonstrate what a caring\, accessible community looks like in 
 real time.\n\nJoin us to witness or take part in turning dialogue\, empathy
 \, and diversity into a living work of art.\n\nhttps://www.visitcalgary.com
