Errare Humanum Est is more than just a theatrical spectacle, it is a reflection on hardship, juvenile deviance, justice, shared by young inmates with an audience of the same age to demonstrate that change and growth are possible. Suggestions and distant echoes introduce and comment on the personal stories of the youngsters on stage in a harmonious koine of language: stories from the streets of urban and cosmopolitan Milan, Shakespearean and Sophoclean verse, underground music and rap contrast and mix. Mistakes are treated as the foundation for growth and, thus, living because, as Tiresia claims in Sophocles’ Antigone “All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil.”
