Bookcity 2022 comes to IULM

Bookcity returns to IULM again this year with a series of meetings all scheduled to take place between November 17 and 18, 2022. As one might expect, one of the themes linking some of the events is one that addresses, in various ways, the post-pandemic situation: new scenarios and rethinking established habits are the focus of some of the talks. But there is also room for an in-depth look at "objects" that are still mysterious to some, such as NFTs, the staging in contemporary and actualized form of the great comedies and tragedies of ancient Greece, or the importance of accessories in the world of fashion.
There will be no shortage of ironic and even somewhat irreverent parenthesis thanks to the Oblivion show -this year's top event - which will be held in the Auditorium.

Here are the details of the events:

• nov. 17, 10:30 a.m. Room 146 (IULM6). Hybridity and irony on stage. Tragedy, comedy and satire drama from ancient Greece to the contemporary stage.
