Banne Sio coordinates a discussion between five leading extemporaneous poets to explore the changing relationship between stage and audience. Contributions by: Bruno Agus, Alessandro Arca, Dionigi Bitti, Giuseppe Porcu, and Tore Senes. The episode's central themes: The crisis in linguistic competence and mastery of the Sardinian language among new generations.

Formal Evolution: The need to find new languages ​​and modes of presentation to keep the magic of improvisation alive.
