the first European festival on creativity

2019 Programme

Event #28

Alberto Giuliani

Looking for immortality

Climate change, population growth, extinctions, nuclear risk. Following the opinion of experts in the coming decades we will face momentous changes, which for the first time in the history of mankind, will put at risk our own survival. Alberto Giuliani takes us on a journey into the future, discovering people and places where science hopes to win death and the human being already dreams of living an eternal life. From NASA astronauts simulating life on Mars to genomic research in China, passing through laboratories of human cryopreservation and cloning, we will meet the fathers of humanoid robotics and the guardians of the ices. It will be a journey full of questions. The only certainty is that wanting to live is much better than not wanting to die.
