The La Torre Storta festival starts from the need to disseminate correct information and knowledge tools on the theme of queer and its infinite variations. Starting from the concrete, everyday experiences of those who have built and designed the festival. So what can queer be in the public space of this university city, which is the one who has had the good fortune to be born and who fortunately has been able to get there? How do our different, multifaceted and ambiguous bodies run through its public space? Which dragons do we wear on a daily basis to fulfill the respectability of academic life? Where does the polymorphic sexuality of the city of the retort tower go underground? The winking and polymorphic Pisa can be a city for queer subjects?
