Friday, March 25 at the Theatre of Alexandria parvum a meeting entitled" Ghosts, vampires and other monsters, imaginary figures "
"The stories of the living dead have gone through all the century of cinema: from the earliest experiments of Méliès to the worldwide success of the saga of 'Twilight'. And, in parallel to the film, have taken root in the most varied media, from the novel (read and popular) to the comic, from television to video games.
The truth is that the stories of those who are called in English 'undead' refer to an emotional and mythical background rooted not only in our culture.
It is, in the role and techniques of modern culture to low, of genuine mythology, which seems to respond to questions and needs, always present: the fear (perhaps mixed with interest) for a possible return of the dead from the impenetrable mystery of which have crossed the threshold: the charm, and all the anxiety that awakens us the idea of \u200b\u200ba life beyond life. "(Peppino Ortoleva)
The literary circle of sharing" The Voice of the Moon "will try to question, even with the help of readings and visual contributions, the reasons for the eternal fascination with these figures that a recent exhibition hosted by the National Museum of Cinema in Turin called 'live differently'.
The meeting will take place at the Hall Youth Theatre of Alexandria parvum, Via Mazzini 85.
