“Is it me or is there something very curious about this moment, is there something very ambiguous?”, wonders MA as she seeks to find a healthy balance between enjoying the freedoms that the lifting of the lockdown restrictions in Milan entail as part of the Ripresa, whilst at the same time remaining aware of the fact that the Covid-19 pandemic is far from over. Indeed, the (Ri) apertura in Milan is shaped by a seemingly endless series of tightrope walks between the desire to catch up for all the time that has been lost because of the pandemic whilst at the same honouring the restrictions that remain in place on Planet Pandemia. This push/pull tension provokes a host of emotions that are complicated, contradictory, and far from comprehensive. However, they are reconcilable if they are at least acknowledged, which MA invites listeners to do as they listen to this week’s playlist.
