the first European festival on creativity

2022 Programme

Event #16

Edoardo Albinati

Out of the world: isolation, solitude and segregation

Vladimir Nabokov wrote that it would be impossible to live without any forms of isolation around us – starting from the skin and bones protecting our brain. Yet, an isolated and ignored individual can suffer and feel a deep pain, even more intense than a physical one. The “neighbour” mentioned by the Gospel helps and frustrates us at once. We swing between an urge to feel involved and integrated and the need to flee from the crazy crowd. The social self-exclusion of teenagers or the refusal of sexuality, as well as work and emotional bonds are the modern result of this process. How can literature cope with all these issues?
