RITUAL HAIKU READING ALOUDZIKAN manner (Japanese = “time”)preambleTo read again is more important than to read.But to read again it is necessary to have read.Jorge Luis BorgesWords are not like dogs,that is sufficient to whistle for calling them and letting them get backLuigi PirandelloNot coming into home, but getting outwe should clean our shoes on the doormatto remember every day not to dirty the worldwe are going inPietro TartamellaThe ZIKAN manner (Japanese = “time”) is a ritual way to read haikus. A haiku should be read three times in a different way:1) SIZUKA NA manner (Japanese word = without noise, silence): it consists in putting a long silence at the end of every line of verse.2) TENZI SURU manner (Japanese word = to show): the syllabic content and the metrical scheme are shown and “read” clearly,obtaining an odd and particular reading, as well as odd is the top model’s catwalk.3) WABI-SABI manner: everything is tied up in a soft reading, adding intonations and sober voice effects.Wabi = the unexpected, the awakening of attentionSabi = silence, loneliness, detachment, contemplation.
