From 8 to 13 June, the blue horse will set off from Trieste on a journey through Slovenia, visiting people who still live in so-called special institutions.

Once upon a time, a horse named Marco lived at the San Giovanni psychiatric hospital in Trieste. In his old age, patients saved him from inevitable slaughter by securing his pardon. For 50 years, Marco Cavallo’s sculpture has symbolized the dismantling of institutional walls in Italy and beyond. This spring, the blue horse will set off from Trieste on a journey through Slovenia, visiting people who still live in so-called special institutions, separated from society by walls.

The tour will include a cultural and artistic programme, with readings of works by psychiatrist Franco Basaglia, presented for the first time in Slovenian.
