Arcipelago Levi - Cinque esplorazioni nel mondo di Primo Levi. This series of events offers a journey through the work of Primo Levi. Five events, including conferences and performances, explore the themes, voices, and questions that make up his literary universe.
Eighty years ago, on October 19, 1945, Primo Levi returned to Turin after an incredible journey through a Europe devastated by war. This marked the end of a period of extraordinary experiences (the concentration camp, the odyssey of his return) and the beginning of a new phase of everyday life, working as a chemist, writing, and bearing witness. Starting with his book about his return, La Tregua, this series of readings traverses the unexpectedly rich and varied archipelago of Levi's work, concluding at the point where it all began: Auschwitz and the book that Levi was able to write about it.
Readings of the texts by the Ghiribizzo theatre atelier.
