The Mediterranean Heritage as an Asset in the Age of Multi-Ethnicity
19 November, 2008, 5pm
Venice International University, isola di San ServoloMaurizio Scaparro, Director of Biennale Teatro and theater director, in 1979-82 revived the Carnival of Venice as hear of the International Theater Festival.
He will talk about the main theme of the Biennale Teatro, arguing that the origins of European civilization partly lies in the contamination of Arab, Jewish and Christian cultures and that, today, there is the need to look at the Eastern Mediterranean artistic and cultural heritage, marked by the convergence of very different people, to seek new knowledge, new tolerance, new surprises and new illusions.
Carmelo Alberti, Professor of Theater Histor at Università Ca’ Foscari and President of the International Institute for Theatre Research of Casa Goldoni, will be the discussant of this meeting.
