"Resist, heart" to re-exist.

The writer and screenwriter Alessandro D'Avenia tells "The Odyssey and the Art of Being Mortal" at the Teatro Romano. A rereading guided through the epic work as a scholar of Classical Letters who chose it as his main field of interest, as a teacher who for years has promoted its integral reading aloud, as an intellectual very skilled in interpreting the spirit of the time.

Allure and deep sense of a great classic, mother book. Poem of the return as the creation of destiny. Narration of deed as gestation. The mystery, the unknown, the wonder. The risk: to step out of oneself to become authentic. To come into the light, to make oneself come alive. If we have lost the joy of our Odyssey, rereading the Odyssey is the best way to "return".
