Kafkaesque inauguration with Campus Frassetto and Favata and thunderous applause for Valerio Aprea .
Thus opens the Ethno's Literary Festival 2024 at the Paleobotanical Museum , with two very crowded evenings, on November 8 and 9 in the town of Martis.
From metamorphoses, generators of epochal changes, eras, stories, worlds, fantastic tales of lives and cyclical stories are born that time cannot erase.
And it is precisely on the theme of metamorphosis that the preview of the evening dedicated to Kafka was enough , with the inauguration of the bibliographic exhibition curated by Comes-Cooperativa mediateche sarde and Sistema bibliotecario Comuni dell'Anglona e della Bassa Valle del Coghinas.
In this exhibition, the theme of metamorphosis from classical literature to contemporary literature was illustrated by the coordinator of Sbangl Carmelana Nuvoli, with the collaboration of readers. There was then space for a chat with Eleonora Cattogno who spoke with the illustrator Sara Pilloni, retracing her books, from fairy tale to fairy tale up to the latest works that took her all the way to China.
The opening night at the Centro polivalente Vincenzo Migaleddu was entrusted to the histrionic Giovanni Campus, in a masterful biographical reading. With the performative readings of Kafka's Metamorphoses, a page of modernity opens, accompanied by the reciting voice of Maria Paola Cordella and the original music by Luigi Frassetto with the special participation of Enzo Favata.
This “performative lecture” aims to place Kafka in his time and historical context, not as a monster or a genius but as a son of his time, with much to say for future generations, and to indicate some of the great philosophical ideas that his reading has inspired in the authors who have engaged with him.
