the first European festival on creativity

2019 Programme

Event #21

Paolo Colombo, Michele Tranquillini

Ernst Henry Shackleton. The hero who defeated the Arctic

On August 1st 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton set sail from London with twenty-seven men to cross Antarctica on foot. During that odyssey that lasted two very long years, the British explorer and his companions lived adventures at the limits of the incredible: the shipwreck of the ship Endurance, the bivouac in the ice, the wanderings to the mainland, the crossing of unexplored mountains and glaciers. An engrossing story – made of determination, mutual trust, optimism and adaptability – which is told in words by Paolo Colombo and drawn live by Michele Tranquillini through his evocative watercolours. And that answers a question: what does it mean to be a hero? And what idea of heroism do we want for the time we live in?
