“What if all the songs we listen to had been written by lesbians for lesbians?”
On September 10, 11 and 12, it will be possible to order and deliver a serenade through Frocy Express, a service that will take care of getting the dedicated song to the desired person.
The service is free and for the exclusive use of lesbian people.
At the public gathering on Wednesday September 9, the modes of action and the complicities to be activated will be shared — through a simple and accessible system that will come into effect in the final days of the festival, to intercept the songs and bring them to their destination.
Sara Leghissa is also present at Short Theatre 2026 together with Taquitojocoque, with Serenata Lesbica, on September 12.
Sara Leghissa is an independent artist based in Milan. Their practice takes place primarily in public space. Through a principle of resource ecology, they make use as much as possible of what is already available in reality. They create systems and devices that seek to blend into and merge with context, in order to convey images and content and to encounter and intercept different publics, through the use of accessible and everyday technologies. They co-founded the artistic project Strasse and have collaborated with various independent artists and collectives. They have presented their work in Italian and international contexts and festivals, including Santarcangelo Festival (IT), Triennale Teatro dell’Arte (IT), Short Theatre (IT), far Festival (CH), Festival Parallele (FR), Saal Biennal (EE), Beursschouwburg (BE), Malta Biennale Arte (MT). For the Italian scene they co-organised Nobodys Business, an independent platform for the exchange of practices in performing arts; NESSUNO, a space for generating community and resistance through the practice of the party; and Sauna Never Dry, a wooden room containing the equipment to produce dry air at high temperature, which becomes a device for encounter and the construction of collective practices. For the publisher NERO Editions they have published the books Will you marry me? and La scuola ha riaperto come dopo una nevicata.
Sara Leghissa is present at ST26 with the support of SIAE
