The 77 individuals whose voices I tried to channel here are, or rather were, real people. Like my grandfather, they were all victims of an idea of “normality” that did not include them and, therefore, secluded them, confining their bodies to a cruel and repressive institution. Surviving the “insane asylums” until 1978, when the Basaglia Law finally closed them, was almost always at the expense of one’s sanity.
