(May 5, 2017) “In the darkness of human destiny: Pirandello and self-knowledge”: this is the title of the event dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the birth of the Nobel Prize winner, which will feature prominent actor and director Sergio Rubini. The initiative is scheduled for Thursday May 11 at 6.30 pm at the Italian Cultural Institute of Lisbon, which organizes the event together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and the De Sanctis Foundation. Rubini will give Pirandello a voice in a sequence of texts carefully selected from the literary works of the writer, especially the novels “The Late Mattia Pascal” and “One, No one and One Hundred Thousand” and the short story “The Train Whistled”. The reading of Rubini will be preceded by a critical intervention by Professor Sebastiana Fadda, a scholar of literature, culture and theater and researcher at the Center for theatrical studies at the faculty of Arts at the University of Lisbon.
