In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni
Dublin Dance Festival
For info and tickets: www.dublindancefestival.ie
The cold glow of a video projector illuminates a rugged black and white space, setting
the scene for an immersive and disconcerting exploration of the human condition.
Four dancers move together, never communicating directly, yet finding small moments
of contact, even tenderness. Like characters in a Beckett play, they are relentlessly
driven to carry on. In this enigmatically titled work, We go around at night and are
consumed by fire, controversial Italian choreographer Roberto Castello fuses cinema,
dance and theatre to offer insights into a life fuelled by endless desire.

Stepping outside the artist’s studio
The origin of plein air painting in Italy
with Anna Ottani Cavina
In English
At the end of XVI Century, a painting revolution began: a large number of painters left
their ateliers and began painting outdoors to capture the true essence of landscapes.
The Italian countryside, with its vibrant colours and lights, was the preferred location
of notable French, German, British and Scandinavian artists, who ended up ‘revealing’
and ‘reinventing’ the beauty of Italian landscapes through their art.
Anna Ottani Cavina is the Director of the Fondazione Federico Zeri and Professor of
Art History of the Department of Visual Arts, University of Bologna.

Fare Cinema: Settimana del Cinema Italiano
Italy in a Day - Un giorno da italiani
Directed by Gabriele Salvatores, 2014
In Italian with English subtitles
Oscar-winning director Gabriele Salvatores has created a touching mosaic of life in
Italy during one day. On October 26th 2013, Italians were asked to record and send in
videos via their smartphones or video cameras. The result is a collage of 632 videos
exposing everyday Italians’ hopes and fears. This experiment portrays Italy through
the eyes of Italians, going inside their homes and letting them decide what to show
and share. The engaging insights range from the birth of a child to the breathtaking
eruption of Mount Etna. A kaleidoscopic portrait of a troubled but vibrant country.

Books and substances
LSD and Finnegans Wake in conversation
With Agnese Codignola and Edoardo Camurri
In Italian
What could possibly be the connection between Finnegans Wake and lysergic acid
dyethilamide (better known as LSD)? This combination is only apparently extravagant,
as Joyce was indeed a major reference author for the psychedelic subculture of the
1960s; as Marshall McLuhan once said, “LSD is the lazy man’s Finnegans Wake”.
Chemist Agnese Codignola and journalist Edoardo Camurri bring the hallucinogenic
substance and the great Irish author together in a lysergic conversation about creative
processes, altered states of consciousness and vibrant interconnections in writing.

Dante for Everyone?
Money, greed and (Dante’s) Hell
With Catherine Dunne and Paolo di Paolo
A conversation about the possibility to approach Dante’s texts in spite (and perhaps
because) of its apparent distance from today’s world. Are adaptations and translations
reliable instruments to experience a text that is certainly medieval, but has achieved
a surprisingly solid afterlife? Is the plot (the “libretto”) of Dante’s Commedia the
reason and the substance of our fascination for this masterpiece of world literature?
How much of its music is actually available to non-Italian speakers? And, most of all,
what do we talk about when we talk of Dante’s Commedia, and especially of Inferno?

An Opera on Dante’s life
With Patrick Cassidy
In 2001 Irish composer Patrick Cassidy was asked to write an aria for an opera that
did not exist: the subject was Dante’s love for Beatrice as expressed in Vita Nuova,
and the aria, Vide cor meum, was featured in Ridley Scott’s film Hannibal and
eventually became one of the most successful soundtracks of 20th Century cinema.
Cassidy has now written an entire opera based on Dante’s life and works, which will
premiere in Italy in 2021 for the 700th anniversary of Dante’s death. He will give us
the chance to get a first glimpse into his approach to this monumental endeavour.Saturday 13th July - 7pm
