A conversation with the playwright and director from Milan who has dedicated his latest book, "The apple Alan " the mathematician Alan Mathison Turing, considered the inventor of the computer. A brilliant and eccentric character who committed suicide. Passion for contamination and the principle of inclusion are the operating modes that allow the writing stage to give a meaningful way to scientific knowledge.

We interview Valeria Patera, poet, author, director and original exponent of the genre of theater and science. His latest publication is the book theater's apple Alan ( Di Renzo Editore, Rome 2007, pp. 120, € 12.50), dedicated to Alan Mathison Turing (1912-1954), mathematician, engineer , biologist, cryptanalysts, a scientist who is considered the inventor of the computer.

She is an artist who is moving on several fronts: it is an actress, director and writer, what characterizes it most?

The act of writing is original, if I have to choose one thing, surely I choose writing, writing also includes art, writing, speaking stage, the writing becomes a director.

How did his passion for the theater?

I think it was a passion born with me, already three years as a child I liked to perform on stage, a young girl at sixteen I knew I wanted to go forward on this path, studying and working hard, and just to play a very important I arrived in Rome. Then, by the time I arose the passion to be behind the scene and, so, I started directing. I've always been interested in the creation of a theater Multicode, I tried continuing contamination, I wanted to include different languages \u200b\u200bin that one gesture that is the theater.

She is known for a particular new field of arts: theater, science, science then becomes a new means of language?

In a process of inclusion came to my mind not only the artistic languages \u200b\u200bencoded, but also other languages \u200b\u200bsuch as science, as the thought, thinking is action par excellence.

Scientific knowledge is very present, I would say fundamental in our culture, and if its concepts are considered to be abstract, you can communicate through the theater and make them feel. Everything is born from the contamination, and the principle of inclusion.

There talk about his latest book entitled "Alan's apple, which originated as a script for theater and science and then became a book.

The story is long, I had previously published books on scientific character, this is about Alan Turing, a leading scientist living in the first half of the twentieth century and who committed suicide by eating a poisoned apple. Turing is now considered the father of the computer. He was a too little known, his story is incredible and he is certainly a figure of unusual and extraordinary. Also this time the book comes from a previous play, in fact many of my works the scene then find their way to publication.

plans for the future?

I have in mind a new character, but I do not want to reveal, for the rest of the work will start soon as the drama on Darwin, which was already presented some time ago (at the Festival of Philosophy of Rome), but now for the bicentenary of the birth of the great scientist will again be staged in various countries.
