Exhibition - "Pasolini in Chiaroscuro"
From Friday 29 March to Sunday 29 September 2024, Nouveau Musée National de Monaco - Villa Sauber
The new exhibition at the Villa Sauber honours Pier Paolo Pasolini, perhaps the last European intellectual to have gained worldwide renown. A half-century on from his death, his influence can still be felt across the different fields in which he worked: he is read, commented on, adapted, and inspires contemporary creative artists. While he preferred to describe himself as a writer, it was his films that brought him to the public’s attention. The exhibition looks at his inspirations and his legacy.

PLAY IN ITALIAN. A vagrant looks back at his life and the choices that saw him end up on the streets, while considering the meaning of existence.

Capable too, through a kind of joyous and indefatigable philosophy”, of finding the "salt of life", the complexity and unpredictability of fate. A tragi-comic play that marks the return of the actor, playwright and director Sergio Castellito.
