“Ithaca. the Return”, tells of an Odyssey of the spirit, without journeys, without monsters, without gods.

A family separated by time and war, reunited by love, guilt and violence.

It will vanish forever
The series “Through the eyes of the murderer”, dedicated to Italian detective stories from the 1960s to the present day, this evening features the film by Pupi Oggiano.
A series of murders bloody Turin. DJs Ricky Nazionale and Elettra Adami, who host a well-known night radio show, get involved and improvise themselves as investigators. Is there a single hand behind all the murders? What links the victims together? Are the new murders linked to an old unsolved case? And what is the significance of the symbol the killer leaves next to the corpses? These are just some of the questions that Commissioner Augusto Terzi will have to answer. Director Oggiano will be present. Curated by Ilaria Monfardini.

Thursday 27 February at 9:00 p.m.
Premiata Pasticceria Bellavista
A story of blindness, of men and women unable to observe life and the world around them. The tale of a social and cultural condition in which every character in the play is incapable of facing the path that life has put in front of them and acts by pretending not to see. Vincenzo Salemme’s writing succeeds in recounting through the events of one family the whole world, a humanity that walks with blinkers on, that has difficulty in relationships, that aims only at personal profit, that lies shamelessly and never looks reality in the face.
Online presale available.
Place: Teatro del Popolo, Piazza Gramsci.

Saturday 1 March at 6:00 p.m.

Place: La Stanza Rossa, via IV Novembre 2/D.

Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 March
Mario Monicelli Cinema
“FolleMente”, the film directed by Paolo Genovese, tells the story of a first date. A classic romantic scenario, but with a unique twist: through the thoughts of the protagonists, we see how the different personalities that inhabit their minds interact. In the course of the film, every aspect of their psyche, from rationality to madness, from instinct to romance, comes to life arguing, quarrelling, rejoicing and being moved in an attempt to prevail and guide the final decision. The result is a fascinating psychological game that reveals the mysterious mechanisms that make us act, reflect and choose.
The performance on Saturday 1 is scheduled for 9:30 p.m., the performance on Sunday 2 is brought forward to 5:30 p.m.
Online presale available.
Place: Cinema Mario Monicelli, piazza Gramsci.
