During two manias, Gioia Fiorito's biggest dreams and darkest nightmares became reality. At full speed, energetic and uninhibited, she was like an unstoppable force of nature with a unique experience of the world around her. Now, ten years later, she lives a regular life, but not without the richness of her imagination. In Gioia Live with Mara Hulspas, she honours the power of fantasies, dreams of distant futures and reflects on what once was. With Mara's beautiful dance and Gioia's poetic, humorous and sharp reflections, an interplay is created between delusion and reality, mania and magic.  

Liat Waysbort will be a guest in the Talk of the Day on 21 August at 4 pm. About the stories behind psychosis and the power of fantasies. Language is English.
