With his satirical cabaret show “Homo Humus,” Luca Maurizio takes the audience on a journey between the rapid changes of our present day and the simple world of the Bregaglia Valley in the last century. Inspired by thinkers such as Yuval Noah Harari and Thomas Piketty, he weaves their ideas together with his personal background—a world where hard work, modesty, and a respectful approach to resources were part of everyday life. Back then, people didn’t know the terms “circular economy” or “sustainability”—they simply lived by them: with rusty nails that were bent back into shape, with sheep’s wool turned into sweaters, and with an old cow that first pulled the hay wagon and was later bid farewell at the table—with her tongue, rib, or the last vertebra of her tail—was bid farewell at the table.
