In brief

Date - 25 January 2024

Venue - Screening Room G.04, 50 George Square

Speakers - Irene Ros (PhD candidate in Italian Studies)

About the event

Fuori Programma is a 70-minute film that documents the vintage multimedia performance that premiered on 24 May 2023 at the Pleasance Theatre.

The performance staged the memories of 20 Italian women who shared their memories of Italian political violence in the 1970s. The memories were performed by a group of students who engaged in a weekly theatre workshop in Italian at the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures.

The performance was filmed, and is presented here as part of the Work in Progress Seminar Series.
