event in English with Italian translation

An opportunity to explore the ideas, techniques and collaborations behind the extraordinary project that brings together cinema and music.

Starting from the immersive experience of the film-concert BREATHE DISSOLVE RETURN, the meeting explores the creative process and the long collaboration between the artist and the composer, investigating the role of music, editing and visual stratification in the construction of non-linear narratives. A discussion that offers the audience a privileged insight into how history and imagination take shape in Kentridge’s work.
