the first European festival on creativity

2018 Programme

Event #20

Kamila Shamsie

In the name of love

Why do we need to keep telling ancient stories? What does Antigone teach us during the Isis era? Can it help us coping with the ethical and political challenges of the XXI century? With the strength of the contemporary storyteller, Kamila Shamsie wonders about identity, faith, family and society. And she asks a question concerning all of us: what sacrifices are we willing to do in the name of love? What would stop ourselves and make us help the people we love?

Interpreter: Sonia Folin
