Culture and memory in Cagliari: Ascanio Celestini opens the preview of the Mondo Eco Literary Festival 2026
\nOn August 20th, the EXMA will host the presentation of the book “Pasolini. One Life, or Rather Two.” A journey through history, theater, and political commitment in collaboration with the Incipit Festival.
\nCAGLIARI, AUGUST 8, 2026 \u2013 The Mondo Eco Literary Festival is gearing up for its 2026 edition and is announcing a prestigious preview. On Thursday, August 20th, at 8:00 PM, the EXMA’ in Cagliari (Via San Lucifero 71) will host the renowned director, playwright, and writer Ascanio Celestini for the presentation of his highly anticipated book: “Pasolini. One Life, or Rather Two.”
\nThe event is free to attend and is held in collaboration with the Incipit Festival, confirming an increasingly close collaboration between the main cultural events in the area.<\/p>\n

The Book: A Dual Portrait of Pasolini<\/strong>
\nIn “Pasolini. One Life, or Rather Two,” Ascanio Celestini does not simply write a biography, but constructs a powerful and polyphonic narrative around one of the most central, complex, and controversial figures of twentieth-century Italy. The story unfolds to explore the two “bodies” of Pier Paolo Pasolini: on the one hand, the private one\u2014the man, the poet, the son, the friend\u2014and on the other, the public one\u2014the political, intellectual, and tragically massacred body, transformed over time into an iconic symbol. Through this split, Celestini delves into the contradictions of last-century Italy, offering the reader a Pasolini who is extraordinarily lucid, alive, and dramatically relevant. <\/p>\n

The Author: The Voice of Narrative Theater<\/strong>
\nAscanio Celestini is considered one of the leading exponents of narrative theater in Italy. A director, actor, and writer, for decades he has dedicated his artistic research to collective memory, the stories of the most vulnerable, and the unresolved issues of recent Italian history. With a rare civic sensitivity and a unique language, capable of blending popular and literary registers, Celestini transforms memory into a critical mirror of our present. <\/p>\n

Event Details
\nThe event will be held in the evocative outdoor setting of EXMA’ in Cagliari. The Mondo Eco festival thus reaffirms its core mission: to explore the connections between culture, society, and memory, offering the public accessible and high-quality opportunities for discussion. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
