MNR @ Milano, 15/16 Sep.’12
The Midnight Run is an urban movement conceived by the word and graphic artist Inua Ellams // alias phaze05 from London. It is a 12-hour walk (from 6 pm to 6 am) that Inua does together with 5 local artists and 30 participants. The city tour is half spontaneous, half studied and during the various breaks the artists do live performances that also involve the passers-by. For years Inua’s been doing the MNR in the United Kingdom (and since June 2012 the project is sponsored by Puma). CCT-SeeCity, for PUF! Pistoia Underground Festival 2012, organized The Firenze MNR (8/9 September 2012), has organized the first MNR in Italy and in Europe (outside the UK borders)! And a week later (15/16 September 2012), the second one in Milan. This one.

A poetry moment…
Do you remember when we sat on the steps to write? If you want to send us your works, we’ll be happy to publish them in this post! Meanwhile, you can read these:
La luce che sento attorno mi avvolge,
Un calore umano mi stringe
Lasci scorrere la serata che per me appena inizia
La forte padronanza di se stessi mi delizia
Sono persone che non conosco
Ed anche se con loro potrei attraversare un buio bosco
Ho il timore che insieme pochi momenti simili potremo condividere.
È sostanzioso,
Lascia una sensazione di fratellanza,
Assieme ci lasciamo portare da questa folle danza.
Somebody around us could still be awake
Who knows, is this an emotional earthquake?
In the middle of these buildings
A woman might be thinking:
“Who’s keeping me awake at this hour?
Well I could really new have a shower!”
A grande distanza dal posto in cui mi trovo
Una nuova vita sta nascendo
Prendo per mano questa magica idea e scovo
Che con altri perfetti sconosciuti certe emozioni condivido.
Ascolto i rumori di questa città
Vivo i presenti e mi chiedo cosa so di loro
Mi ascolto la pancia e la sua voracità
Mi rendo conto che la mente umana è cosi perfetta.. la adoro
I’d rather be where human beings don’t hate eachother.
MNRunner Alexandru Avram
In un abbraccio di pietre e cemento
Un attore in mezzo a tre scale d’argento
Sui gradini altre comparse
Sotto stelle da nuvole nascoste
Guardano allora in basso
Per uno strano momento
La luce di notte è dolce
Sorrido se ci penso.
Una sera di fine estate, un pittore si affaccia alla finestra.
Dicono abbia perso la vista da tempo.
Lui dice che ascolta i suoni e sente gli odori.
E poi usa i colori.
Stanotte profuma d’edera.
Chissà come ha dipinto i nostri passi.

In the Midnight motto, ‘star’ can be taken literally,
or as a metaphor for art, artists, experiences
and the people in the shadow of the city,
in which case it takes on a beauty and importance:
The Midnight Run //
Cause we can’t see stars for fumes
we turn to smashed glass, believing
shards shine like constellations do.
