Pasolini’s Ashes and Theatre: Resonances of Uncomfortable Words in Italy

A theatrical performance titled Ashes brings Pier Paolo Pasolini back to the stage, fifty years after his death, through an imaginary interview that delves into his uncomfortable and provocative words. Directed by Giacomo Andrico and featuring performances by Danny Bignotti and Silvia Gandolfi, the show will take place at midnight on Saturday, November 1, with two additional performances on Sunday, November 2, at 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM. The representation not only revisits the controversial figure of the intellectual but also invites reflection on current themes, accompanied by live music from Andrea Bettini and Alessandra Nova. The dialogue between the two actors highlights the contradictions and still-burning truths of Pasolini’s thought, questioning why his ashes remain so vivid in today’s context of Italy. The performance lasts 50 minutes, and seating is limited; reservations are required to attend this event produced by Cantibhakta. Italian Version
