La Tempesta Silenziosa. Ultimo atto. Prima del prossimo - The Silent Storm. Last Act. Before the Next

An evening of sharing, memory and looking to the future. Following the extraordinary reception it received this summer – with 30,000 people taking part in the shared, simultaneous reading of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s “White Nights” – “The Silent Storm” is bringing together reader in the Santa Cecilia Hall at the Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone.

Italian author Alessandro Baricco devised the reading format. On Sunday 22 November, he will give a free lecture on Dostoevsky’s “White Nights” exploring the themes and poetic power of the novel, to offer the audience a way into the text and share its evocative power, reflections and nuances. The June event – a unique day for the city – will be revisited through images and video clips capturing the essence of a shared experience. The evening will be accompanied by Roberto Tarasco’s soundscape, reflecting the deep connection between words and music that marked the summer event.

The event is organised and supported by Roma Capitale - Department of Culture and Coordination of Initiatives relating to Holocaust Remembrance Day, coordinated by the Department of Cultural Activities, in collaboration with Fondazione Musica per Roma and with organisational support from Zètema Progetto Cultura. Entry is free, subject to availability, but a voucher is required. Vouchers will be available from 11.00 am on Monday 16 November on ticketone.it or at the Auditorium Parco della Musica box office.
