Twelve years — a quarter of my life! That’s how long I’ve been La Cieca, or, more accurately, that’s how long parterre box has been a part of my life. The lady over there on the right is the reason this all began: Maria Callas, for whose 70th birthday (December 3, 1993) I though it would be a nice little tribute to publish a one-off pamphlet called parterre box. Fifty print issues, ten years of online presence, and 60 hours of podcasts later, here we are! So, happy birthday to you, Maria, and much love to Enzo Bordello, Dawn Fatale, Hans Lick, Manuela Haltertop, Indiana Loiterer III, Ortrud Maxwell, Bitchy Spice… and all the rest of you wonderful people out there in the dark!
