Anybody can listen to ToBe Continued…, as long as an internet connection is available, by connecting to the website www.stazioneditopolo.it Normally the marathon also includes several public listening points (bars, libraries, cultural centers, art galleries, shops) that will broadcast the concert. Due to the situation with the coronovirus, BEK will not be a listening point this year.
The event is coordinated by Antonio Della Marina (musician and computer music composer) and by Moreno Miorelli (artistic director of the annual gathering Stazione di Topolò/Postaja Topolove). The whole initiative is under the aegis of the Global Health Incubator, the ‘laboratory’ established in July 2009 in Topolo’ by Mario Raviglione (WHO director of Stop TB Department) to create links between the world of creativity and that of science.
Tuberculosis (abbreviated as TB in English and TBC in Italian) is a curable disease. However, it is often underestimated, if not totally ignored, as a major human scourge, although it is globally the leading cause of death from an infectious disease, causing the loss of 1.7 million people each year, 4000 every day, with thousands of unnecessary victims also in the richest countries every year.
