The time. Lately there’s never enough of it. We are always busy and run here and there busy with multiple commitments. But does it really have to be like this? And, above all, do we have time to dedicate to the important things in our lives? The group of “Active Principles” thought to respond and, above all, to reflect on these issues, which on Saturday 21 March 2026, in the San Pio X Parish of Catanzaro, staged a unique cultural event of its kind. The show, entitled “And you… how much time do you have?”, was a performance that fused modern music and moments of deep meditation. The objective of the evening was to offer the public a guided reflection on the wise use of time, a resource as precious as it is fleeting.
“And you… how much time do you have?”: Time travel
This representation constitutes the sixth creation of the group. The show was conceived as a real journey: past time, the starting point for understanding our roots; present time, the phase of crossing and awareness; time to come, the projection towards the future.
Through this journey, viewers were led to reflect on the positive and negative changes in modern society and the intrinsic value of every moment.
The Team on stage
The performance saw different artistic sensibilities alternating on stage, working in synergy to give life to the collective script. The protagonists of the evening were: Paola Tigani Sava, narrator; Paolo Lamanna, vocals and guitar; Tito Gatani, guitar; Piero Guzzi, piano and keyboards.
The history of the “Active Ingredients”
The Principi Attivi group was born in 2019 from the union of a group of friends linked by a common passion for music and reading. Their artistic mission is to create performances where musical pieces and literary texts alternate harmoniously, chosen based on themes shared by all members.
What makes this collective special is the collaborative approach: there are no rigid tasks. Each member makes their skills available for a final selection of songs and lyrics that is the result of constructive discussion and collective growth.
